A tweaked version of the original 1969 Glen Campbell classic. Written by Jimmy Webb ("By the time I get to Phoenix", "Witchita Lineman", "MacArthur Park", "Up Up & Away") The song was originally about a soldier in the Spanish-American War (1898). Campbell's version was released at the height of the Vietnam War. ------------------------------------ Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin' I still see her dark eyes glowin' She was 21 when I left Galveston Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons splashing I clean my gun and dream of Galveston I still see her standing by the water Standing there lookin' out to sea And is she waiting there for me? On the beach where we used to run Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying Before I dry the tears she's crying Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun At Galveston, at Galveston
