belfast town (medley) - mick moloney lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we’ve barricades and gelignite and gunmen walk the streets
we’ve cs gas imported for the hungry kids to eat
our towns and knells are a castle now and the waves begin to pound
and i’ll tell you, john, i’ve oft time longed to leave old belfast town

[verse 2]
oh belfast is a city where decent men are few
where drums and guns have mesmerized the working man, it’s true
wherе democracy means hypocrisy and corruption does abound
and i’ll tеll you, john, i’ve oft time longed to leave old belfast town

[verse 3]
for long we’ve been exploited and oft i have asked why
that men without compunction were allowed to bleed us dry
in many a filthy tenement in districts fallen down
and i’ll tell you, john, i’ve oft time longed to leave old belfast town

[verse 4]
our minds are filled with poison and i fear it is too late
to wipe our walls of malice and the words that speak of hate
for freedom has been banished now and honest men put down
and i’ll tell you, john, i’ve oft time longed to leave old belfast town

[verse 5]
oh well now, john, you’ve been and gone around the world to see
and have you found a country where the working man is free?
where there are no grasping landlords nor forces of the crown
ah, tell me, john, and i’ll be gone far from old belfast town
