The day it is dawnin' and Geraldine's longin'

So far from the place she calls home

A new day is breakin' and Geraldine's wakin'

Sometimes alone in the night time Geraldine cries

Ah, but Galway's a long way away.

Well, the music is playing, Geraldine's swaying

To the tune of "A pair of brown eyes"

As she listens the music transports her

C G D

So far away over the sea

And that's where she's longing to be
