You will see smiling faces that greet you
with a "Cead Mile Failte," at store
and a candle burns bright in the window
of a cabin with only one door.

When you see the moon rise over Claddah
and the golden sun 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 the sweet angel's voice sing
it's the angel whose heart I may gladden
when I give her my gold Claddagh ring.

And the cunning 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 who 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.
then you're on the right road Sir for heaven
For it's heaven around Galway Bay.
