Heaven Around Galway Bay

Heaven Around Galway Bay - Tom Donovan

When they told me

That ireland was heaven

I said that's where

I'm longing to stay

Then an emigrant voice

Said that's my land

If you please sir

I'll show you the way

You will see smiling faces

That greet you

With a cead mile failte

At store

And the candle burns

Bright in the window

Of a cabin

With only one door

When you see the moon

Rise over gladdagh

And the golden sand

Kisses the sea

Then you're on the right

Road Sir for heaven

For it's heaven

Around galway bay

In the church on the hill

In the moonlight

You might hear a sweet

Angel voice sing

It's the angel who's heart

I may gladden

When I give her

My gold gladdah ring

When lady use

Smiles so divinely

At the sound of the bell

Stops to pray

Just she say to heard

God save you kindly

And to heaven

She'll show you the way

When be own fashoin

Lady who kiss you

Say's coming Sir

You welcome to stay

Then your on the right

Rosser for havent

For its havent

Around galway bay
