Lyrics The Town I Loved So Well (Live) - The Dubliners , Paddy Reilly
This
time
we′d
like
to
do
a
song
That
was
written
by
a
friend
of
ours,
Philip
Coulter
And
it
comes
from
the
city
of
Derry
Which
has
been
a
very
troubled
spot
For
the
last
twenty
six
or
seven
years
And
we'd
love
to
do
his
marvellous
song:
"The
Town
I
Loved
So
Well"
In
my
memory
I
will
always
see
The
town
that
I
have
loved
so
well
Where
our
schools
played
ball
by
the
gasyard
wall
And
we
laughed
through
the
smoke
and
the
smell
Going
home
in
the
rain,
running
up
the
dark
lane
Past
the
jail
and
down
behind
the
fountain
Those
were
happy
days
in
so
many,
many
ways
In
the
town
I
loved
so
well
In
the
early
morning
the
shirt-factory
horn
Called
women
from
Craigeen,
the
Moor
and
the
Bog
While
the
men
on
the
dole
played
the
mother′s
role
Fed
the
children
and
then
walked
the
dogs
And
when
times
got
rough,
there
was
just
about
enough
But
they
saw
it
through
without
complaining
For
deep
inside
was
a
burning
pride
For
the
town
I
loved
so
well
But
when
I'd
returned,
how
my
eyes
were
burned
To
see
how
a
town
could
be
brought
to
its
knees
By
the
armoured
cars
and
the
bombed-out
bars
And
the
gas
that
hangs
on
to
every
breeze
Now
the
army's
installed
by
that
old
gasyard
wall
And
the
damned
barbwire
gets
higher
and
higher
With
their
tanks
and
guns
Oh
my
god,
what
have
they
done
To
the
town
I
loved
so
well
Now
the
music′s
gone
but
they
carry
on
For
their
spirit′s
been
bruised,
never
broken
They'll
not
forget,
still
their
hearts
are
set
On
tomorrow
and
peace
once
again
For
what′s
done,
it's
done
and
what′s
won
is
won
And
what's
lost,
it′s
lost
and
gone
forever
I
can
only
pray
for
a
bright
brand-new
day
In
the
town
I
loved
so
well
Thank
you
Thank
you
very
much
