When my love said to me, Meet me down by the gallow tree. For its sad news I bring, About this old town and all that its offering. Some say troubles abound, Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down. One day well 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 Ive spent, With my faith in God the Church and the Government. But theres sadness abound, Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down. One day well return here, When the Belfast Child sings again, When the Belfast Child sings again So come back Billy, wont you come on home? Come back Mary, youve been away so long. The streets are empty, and your mothers gone. The girls are crying, its been oh so long. And your fathers calling, come on home. Wont you come on home, wont you come on home? Come back people, youve been gone a while, And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle. Thats flesh and blood man, thats flesh and blood, All the girls are crying but alls not lost. The streets are empty, the streets are cold. Wont you come on home, wont you come on home? The streets are empty, Life goes on. One day well return here, When the Belfast Child sings again, When the Belfast Child sings again.
