[Verse 1]
[D]When my love said to me
Meet me [G]down by the gallow [D]tree
For it?s sad [G]news I [D]bring
About this old [G]town and all
that it?s [D]offering
Some say [G]troubles [D]abound
Some [C]day soon they're gonna
[G]pull the old town [D]down
One day we'll re[G]turn [D]here,
When the [C]Belfast [G]child sings
[D]again
[C][G][D]

[Verse 2]
Brothers sisters where are you now
As I look [C]for [G]you right through [D]the crowd
All my life [G]here I've [D]spent
With my faith in God [G]the church
and the govern[D]ment
But there's [C]sad[G]ness [D]abound
Some day soon [C]they're gonna
[G]pull the old town [D]down

[Verse 3]
One day we'll re[G]turn [D]here,
When the Bel[Am]fast [G]child
sings [D]again[G][D]
When [G]the Belfast child sings again

Some come back [D]billy,
[G]won't you come on [D]home
Come back Mary,
[G]you've been away so lon[D]g
The streets are empty,
[G]and your mother's [D]gone
The girls are crying, [G]it's been oh [D]so long
And your father's calling,
[G]come on [D]home
won't you come on home,
won't [G]you come on home

[Verse 5]
[D]
[G]you've been gone a w[D]hile
And the war is raging,
in the [G]emerald [D]isle
that's flesh and blood man,
[G]that's flesh and[D] blood
All the girls [G]are crying but all's not [D]lost

[Verse 6]
The streets are [D]empty, the
[G]streets are[D] cold
won't you come on home,
won't you [G]come on home

Life goes [D]on
