| Galway Queen Loved a girl from a Galway town But our love could never be For I longed to see the world And the treasures it held for me So I left my need of home Sailed across the raging sea And to Boston I did roam Worked in a town they called Quincy As each day passed I did find The fame and fortune I had in mind Our streets were not paved with gold Even the summer nights were cold Oh I miss my Galway Queen, my friends in Athenry Wish I could be there tonight With my lovely Nancy close by my side Ditty Well the days went slowly by I started longing for my home What good of searching for a dream When you're not with the one you love So before her love grows cold 'Tis back to Galway I would go To be with the one I love And to stray from home no more Repeat chorus twice to end |
