Songtekst

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 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 the Church and the Government

Some say trouble's 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, 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, in the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood, man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but all's not lost

Oh, 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
