When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallowtree
For it's sad news I bring about this old town
And all that it's suffering
Some say troubles are 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
For all my life here I have spent
With my faith in god and church
And the government
Some say troubles are abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull
The old town down
One day we'll return here
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
And it's been o so long
And your father's 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
But that's flesh and blood,man,
That's flesh and blood
The girls are crying but all's not lost
The streets are empty
'Cause 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
