My Belfast Lyrics

My Belfast lyrics

Have you ever been to Belfast City 

 near the county Down 

 Have you seen the famous River Lagan  

 and all the views of that fine town 

 Have you heard about her beauties 

 have you heard about her pain 

 Oh that´s my Belfast where I remain 

  

 Take a sight of the Stormont House  

 cross Queens-Bridge and Oxford Street 

 The Albert Memorial Clock Tower  

 see the Custom House by feet 

 Walk along the Dublin Road  

 Up to the Ulster Hall 

 Oh that´s my Belfast  I can´t recall 

  

 But don´t forget the Falls Road people  

 and the office of Sinn Fein 

 Walk into the Divis Flats 

 feel the anger and the pain 

 See the mothers with their little babies 

 and the big crowd on the dole 

 Oh, that´s my Belfast my heart and soul 

  

 But see the troops of a foreign nation 

 they are ready to defeat 

 And see the guards and the patrol dodge 

 watch the armoured cars in the street 

 And see those rubber-bullets fly  

 burst into your head 

 Oh that´s my Belfast my great regret 

  

 Do you remember Henry Joy  

 and little Bobby Sands 

 The UDA, the Black And Tans  

 and the crazy reverend
