The Claddagh Walk Lyrics







By the riverside

By the turning tide

Rachel walked with her sailor

Whispers soft and sad

Of the times they had

There on the Galway shore



Will you wait for me

Still be true to me

While I sail on the ocean?

Every wave will be

Dreams of you and me

Here by the Claddagh Walk



One heart I give

To love with you

Two hands to hold you gently

Please wear for me

This sailor's gift of love



Little golden ring

Such a pretty thing

Holding hands together

Rachel smiled at him

And took his ring

As they kissed by The Claddagh Walk



As he sailed away

Happy on the bay

Rachel walked by the harbor

Whispered prayers for him

To return again

There on the Galway shore



And in the morning light

Something warm and bright

Twinkled round on her finger

Rachel smiled again

And kissed his ring

As she turned by The Claddagh Walk



One heart I give

To love with you

Two hands to hold you gently

And wear for me

This sailor's gift of love

Little golden ring

Such a pretty thing

Holding hands together

Rachel smiled again

And kissed his ring

As she turned by The Claddagh Walk

As she turned by The Claddagh Walk
