For all the gold the world might hold I'd never quit your shore, I'd live content whate'er God sent with neighbours old and gray, And lay my bones, 'neath churchyard stones, beside you, Galway Bay. The blessing of a poor old man be with you night and day, The blessing of a lonely man whose heart will soon be clay; 'Tis all the Heaven I'll ask of God upon my dying day, My soul to soar for ever more above you, Galway Bay.

O ! grey and bleak, by shore and creek, the rugged rocks abound, But sweet and green the grass between, as grows on Irish ground, So friendship fond, all wealth beyond, and love that lives alway, Bless each poor home beside your foam, my dear old Galway Bay. Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood and heart of fire once more,

'Tis far away I am today from scenes I roamed a boy, And long ago the hour I know I first saw Illinois; But time nor tide nor waters wide can wean my heart away, For ever true it flies to you, my dear old Galway Bay. My chosen bride is by my side, her brown hair silver-grey, Her daughter Rose as like her grows as April dawn today. Our only boy, his mother's joy, his father's pride and stay; With gifts like these I'd live at ease, were I near Galway Bay.

ah faint praise from the yank - put 'taimse i mo chodladh' into the search box and hear a beautiful song from iarla o lionaird - hear a delicious and haunting song - we are a modern country now.. we honour our past by our present.
