The Claddagh Walk

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
