Lyrics of 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 it's offering
Some say troubles abound some day soon they're 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 and church and the government
Some say troubles abound some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
Some 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 calling come on home
Won't you come on home? 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 all the girls crying but all's not lost
Well the streets are empty and life goes on
Won't you come on home? come on home
The streets are empty
Life goes on
One day we'll return here when the Belfast Child sings again
