It's Heaven Around Galway Bay Lyrics

When they told me that Ireland was heaven

I said, that's where I'm longing to stay

When an emigrant voice said, It’s my land

If you please sir, I'll show you the way

You’ll smiling faces that greet you

With a, 'Céad Míle Fáilte at store

And a candle burns bright in the window

Of a cabin with only one door

When you see the moon rise over Claddagh

And the golden sand kisses the sea

Then you're on the right road sir for heaven

For it's heaven around Galway Bay

In the church on the hill neath the moonlight

You can hear a sweet angel’s voice sing

It's the angel who's heart I may gladden

When I give her my gold Claddagh ring

And the cailín who smiles so divinely

At the sound of the bell stops to pray

Just you turn and say, God bless you kindly

And to heaven she'll show you the way

And an old fashioned lady that greets you

Says come in sir, you’re welcome to stay

Then you’re on the right road, sir for heaven

For it’s heaven around Galway Bay

Yes it’s heaven around Galway Bay
