Bridie Gallagher - Heaven Around Galway Bay

Bridie Gallagher, the Girl from Donegal - Heaven Around Galway Bay

Lyrics:

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 "Céad Míle Fáilte a stór"
and the candle burns bright in the window
of a cabin with only one door.

When you see the moonrise over Claddagh
and the golden sand kisses the sea
then you're on the righy road Sir for heaven
for it's heaven around Galway Bay

In the church on the hill in the moonlight
you can hear a sweet angel voice sing
It's the angel who's heart I may gladden
when I give her my gold Claddagh Ring

And the coleen who smiles so devinely
at the sound of the bell stops to pray
just you turn and say "God let she kindly"
and to heaven she'll show you the way.
