Belfast Child
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's suffering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, Sisters where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God, the Church and the Government
But there's sadness abound
Some day soon they gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
Come back Billy won't you come on home
Come back Mary you've been away so long
The streets are empty and your mother's gone
The girls are crying it's been oh so long
And your father's calling come on home
Won't you come on home won't you come on home
Come back people you've been gone a while
And the war is raging through the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
And the girls are crying but all's not lost
The streets are empty the streets are cold
Won't you come on home won't you come on home
The streets are empty
Life goes on...
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's suffering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, Sisters where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God, the Church and the Government
But there's sadness abound
Some day soon they gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
Come back Billy won't you come on home
Come back Mary you've been away so long
The streets are empty and your mother's gone
The girls are crying it's been oh so long
And your father's calling come on home
Won't you come on home won't you come on home
Come back people you've been gone a while
And the war is raging through the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
And the girls are crying but all's not lost
The streets are empty the streets are cold
Won't you come on home won't you come on home
The streets are empty
Life goes on...
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
