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
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
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
C G D
When the Belfast Child sings again
C G D (10x)
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

Life goes on
D G D
One day we'll return here
C G D
When the Belfast Child sings again
D C G D
When the Belfast Child sings again
