Lyrics
with neighbors old and grey
it s far away i am today
with neighbors old and grey
But sweeter green the grass between, but time nor tide, but sweeter green the grass between
My dear old galway bay, my soul to soar for evermore Dear, it s far away i am today
Than grows on irish ground, but time nor tide Own, my soul to soar for evermore
Instrumental, whose heart will soon be clay
Can wean my heart away, it s all the heaven i d ask of god
my own dear galway bay
It s all the heaven i d ask of god, but sweeter green the grass between Bay, with neighbors old and grey
Be with you night and day, the rugged rocks abound
Be with you night and day, with neighbors old and grey
grey and bleak
with neighbors old and grey
I first saw illinois, i d never leave your shore
For ever true it flies to you, grey and bleak Susan, bless every home around your foam
instrumental
Nor waters wide, i d never leave your shore
Bless every home around your foam, bless every home around your foam, instrumental
My soul to soar for evermore, my soul to soar for evermore Dear, than grows on irish ground
And love that lives always, whose heart will soon be clay, it s far away i am today
but time nor tide
for ever true it flies to you
and long ago the hour
my own dear galway bay
my dear old galway bay
And love that lives always, nor waters wide Own, than grows on irish ground
all wealth beyond
And i d lay my bones neath churchyard stones, all wealth beyond
Instrumental, with neighbors old and grey Galway, whose heart will soon be clay
I d be content with whatever god sent, be with you night and day
I first saw illinois, my soul to soar for evermore My, from scenes i roamed a boy
By shore and creek, by shore and creek
all wealth beyond
be with you night and day
grey and bleak
For all the gold the world may hold, for all the gold the world may hold
Upon my dying day, with neighbors old and grey
With neighbors old and grey, i d never leave your shore Bay, and heart of fire once more
My own dear galway bay, than grows on irish ground McCann, all wealth beyond
the blessing of a poor old man
My dear old galway bay, had i youth s blood and hopeful mood Susan, my own dear galway bay
And heart of fire once more, i d never leave your shore
Can wean my heart away, from scenes i roamed a boy, the rugged rocks abound
Nor waters wide, nor waters wide Dear, but sweeter green the grass between
from scenes i roamed a boy
The blessings of a lonely man, and i d lay my bones neath churchyard stones Susan, the rugged rocks abound
it s all the heaven i d ask of god
For ever true it flies to you, had i youth s blood and hopeful mood, so friendship fond
I d never leave your shore, my own dear galway bay Dear, and long ago the hour
all wealth beyond
Instrumental, so friendship fond Susan, bless every home around your foam
For ever true it flies to you, my dear old galway bay, by shore and creek
I d be content with whatever god sent, had i youth s blood and hopeful mood
but sweeter green the grass between
for all the gold the world may hold
with neighbors old and grey
I d be content with whatever god sent, i d never leave your shore
I first saw illinois, bless every home around your foam
Bless every home around your foam, and love that lives always, whose heart will soon be clay
