When my love said to me
C G D
Meet me down by the gallow tree
C G D
For it's sad news I bring
C G D
About this old town and all that it's offering
C G D
Some say troubles abound
C G D
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
D G D
One day we'll return here,
C G D
When the Belfast Child sings again

Brothers sisters where are you now
C G D
As I look for you right through the crowd
C G D
All my life here I've spent
C G D
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
C G D
Some say troubles abound
C G D
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
D G D
One day we'll return here,
C G D
When the Belfast Child sings again

C G D
So come back Billy, won't you come on home
C G D
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
C G D
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
C G D
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
C G D
And your father's calling, come on home
C G D
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
C G D
C G D
C G D
Come back people, you've been gone a while
C G D
And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle
C G D
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
C G D
All the girls are crying but all's not lost
C G D
The streets are empty, the streets are cold
C G D
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
C G D
C G
The streets are empty
D
Life goes on
