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 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 One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again 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 Won't you come on home, won't you come on home ome 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 One day we'll return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again

Nov 11, 2008 - Yes you came to do that but it didn't quite work out that way. Personally, I think there is more blame to lay at the door of the RUC and Special Branch (they were in charge) than the average squady who may as well of been going to the Congo. That said - all is fair in love and war!
OConnell1916 Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - yes, originally to keep the peace. BUT THAT SOON FUCKN CHANGED! the people found out that instead, you were opressing them, through your death squads, beatings and tyranny. over 60% of people killed by the brits were innocent civilians. less than 31% of those by the IRA were civilians. however this could have been a lot less if the brits weren't in our fuckn country. bloody friday or bloody sunday ring a bell! dont fuckn believe brit propaganda, cause its all a load of shite. Tiocfaigh ar lá
OConnell1916 Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - that last message was to DAVIDRCGRAY. and another thing: history is written by those who have hanged heros! any history you have read, is from a british point of view, which is obviously going to be bias in your favour. you brit bastards are the ignorant cunts, cause use are still ignorant enough to believe that use were actually needed in the north. USE WERE THE FUCKN PROBLEM, i think the last 800 years have proven that. so go fuck yourself.

DAVIDRCGRAY Says:
Nov 12, 2008 - OConnell1916,It states you are only 18 years old on your profile? So what would you know about the troubles? You would be only 8 during the Good Friday accord for a start,So obviously you have grown up with the Republican propaganda rammed down your throat just like our "Brit propoganda". Everybody has an opinion.

Cynic1944 Says:
Nov 16, 2008 - The whole set up pisses me off. These bloody Nationalists and republicans think they are the only Irish in this land. Their attitude is if you are Roman Catholic you can only be Irish !! What Nationalisn and Republicanisn has done is deny the right of Protestants to be Irish. Plague on them !!! I will tell you all, there will be no better an Irishman than a Protestant Northerner as time evolves !!! Why? Because he will give no allegance to any other System. Now that will be an Irishman !!!
