When my dad said to me, [G] meet me down by the gallow [D] tree
For it's sad news [G] I [D] bring
[G] About this old town and all that it's offering
[D]
Some [G] say trouble rolls [D] about
[C] Someday soon they're gonna [G] pull the old town [D] down
One day we'll return here
When the [G] Belfast Child [D] sings again
[C]
[D]
Brothers, [G] sisters, where are [D] you now?
[C] As I look for [G] you right through [D] the crowd
All my life here [G] I've [D]
spent
With my faith in [G] God and church and the government
Some say [C] trouble [G] rolls about
[D] Someday soon they're gonna [G] pull the old town down
One day we'll return [D] here
[Am] When the [G] Belfast Child sings [D] again

Come [C] back Billy, [G] won't you [D] come on home
Come [A] back Mary, [G] you've been away [D] so long
That's sweet, Teresa, and your mother's gone
The [Am] girls are crying, you've been [D] lost so long
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [G] You've been [D] gone a while, and the [A] war is raging
With the [D] arrow down, that's flesh [A] and blood
[G] [D] All the girls [A] are crying, but I'm [D] not lost
[A] That's sweet, Teresa
[G] That's sweet, [D] come on, won't you come [A] on home
