Lyrics

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

(Sinead O'Connor)
I dreamed last night
That my own love came in
He came in so sweetly
His feet made no din
He crept up beside me
And this he did say:
It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day

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
Come on home, 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, Life goes on

One day we'll return here
When the Belfast child sings again
When the Belfast child sings again
