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 flashing
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

Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

Carry me
Home to Birmingham
To my Sarah-Ann
To where I grew a man

Mmm-mmm carry me
Away from this old war
I don't wanna fight no more
I just wish it would end
Mmm-mmm


Here I'm tied down and homesick
And that old wind just blows so freely
Why can't it take me along

Mmm-mmm carry me
With you ramblin' wind
It's the place you've been
I wish I was home again

Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

(humming on top)


Here I'm tied down and homesick
And that old wind just blows so freely
Why can't it take me along

Mmm-mmm carry me
Home to Alabam
To Sarah's homemade jam
To old red mountain land

Mmm-mmm carry me
With you ramblin' wind
It's the place you've been
I wish I was home again

Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

2. Nice!

How about a Revolutionary song now?

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
And they whisper the word --
"Revolution!"

There are men coming down from the valleys,
There are tall ships lying off the coast,
And they carry the light,
In the dark of the night,
Like a whisper in the wind --
"Revolution!"

Bring my gun and a handful of silver,
By the sea we will gather for the fight,
It's been so many years,
So many tears,
We have lost once before,
Now we'll settle the score,
When our cannons will roar --
"Revolution!"

atch and wait, get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now who have not seen the light
We must send the word to all the people in the land
Go to every hill and mountain,
For the time is now at hand
To light a fire!
Light a fire!
Light a fire!

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight,
Under cover of the darkness
We will slip behind the lines
And we will take the men who have stolen our land,
For the years of domination
Hit them right between the eyes
And light a fire!
Light a fire,
Light a fire,
They will see through the world!
Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;

Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It's part of the plan,
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn't yield.
Many have fallen here;

Never forget
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again.
Never forget!
