1
When my love said to me
2
Meet me down by the gallow tree
3
For it's sad news I bring
4
About this old town and all that it's offering
5
Some say troubles abound
6
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
7
One day we'll return here,
8
When the Belfast Child sings again
9
Brothers sisters where are you now
10
As I look for you right through the crowd
11
All my life here I've spent
12
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
13
But there's sadness abound
14
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
15
One day we'll return here,
16
When the Belfast Child sings again
17
When the Belfast Child sings again
18
Some come back Billy, won't you come on home
19
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
20
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
21
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
22
And your father's calling, come on home
23
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
24
ome back people, you've been gone a while
25
And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle
26
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
27
All the girls are crying but all's not lost
28
The streets are empty, the streets are cold
29
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
30
The streets are empty
31
Life goes on
32
One day we'll return here
33
When the Belfast Child sings again
34
When the Belfast Child sings again
35
