[00:16.36]
[00:30.74]When my love said to me
[00:37.71]Meet me down by the gallow tree
[00:43.89]For it's sad news I bring
[00:50.13]About this old town and all that it's offering
[00:56.28]Some say troubles abound
[01:03.12]Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
[01:10.97]One day we'll return here,
[01:15.85]When the Belfast Child sings again
[01:32.49]Brothers sisters where are you now
[01:38.95]As I look for you right through the crowd
[01:44.49]All my life here I've spent
[01:50.73]With my faith in God the Church and the Government But there's sadness abound
[01:58.26]Some say troubles abound
[02:03.46]Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
[02:11.30]One day we'll return here,
[02:16.08]When the Belfast Child sings again
[02:29.64]When the Belfast Child sings again
[03:50.39]Some come back Billy, won't you come on home
[03:55.97]Come back Mary, you've been away so long
[04:01.72]The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
[04:07.79]The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
[04:13.47]And your father's calling, come on home
[04:19.14]Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
[04:37.39]come back people, you've been gone a while
[04:43.03]And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle
[04:49.25]That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
[04:54.66]All the girls are crying but all's not lost
[05:01.47]The streets are empty, the streets are cold
[05:06.51]Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
[05:20.48]The streets are empty
[05:30.94]Life goes on
