Lyrics Belfast Child - Brendan Keeley
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
But
there's
sadness
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
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
