Absolutely beautiful. I feel my roots dearly and it reminds me of the family I have from western Ireland, tears aplenty.

I love everything about this song. The version, the tune, the harmonies, everything. Beautifully, soulfully sung. Thanks for uploading this.

'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 to day. 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. Oh, 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. A prouder man I'd walk the land in health and peace of mind, If I might toil and strive and moil, nor cast one thought behind, But what would be the world to me, its wealth and rich array, If memory I lost of thee, my own dear Galway Bay. Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood and heart of fire once more, 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 evermore above you, Galway Bay.

Although I like the major-key setting, too, I prefer this in the minor- , which I've heard uses the melody borrowed from another song, Skibbereen (SW Co. Cork). This was my RIP wife's favourite rendition before she passed on, and I played it at her final sendoff. It was my hope to visit Galway this spring 2020 to scatter/ bury some of her bones, but of course that was thwarted with int'l travel impossible.. Perhaps next year or one to come :-)

Thanks for the recommendation. Although not Irish, I love the laments in a way that surpasses all understanding and am learning to sing them, one by one a few hundred hours at a time. An endless road.
