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 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. But there's sadness abound, Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down.
