Version 1 of the lyrics

  When my love said to me  When my love said to me
  Meet me down by the gallow tree  Meet me down by the gallow tree
  For it's sad news I bring  For it's sad news I bring
  About this old town and all that it's offering  About this old town and all that it's offering
  Some say troubles abound  Some say troubles abound
  Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down  Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
      
1  One day we'll return here   One day we'll return here, 1
  When the Belfast Child sings again  When the Belfast Child sings again
      
2  Brothers, sisters, where are you now?   Brothers, sisters where are you now 2
  As I look for you right through the crowd  As I look for you right through the crowd
  All my life here I've spent  All my life here I've spent
  With my faith in God the Church and the Government  With my faith in God the Church and the Government
3  Some say troubles abound   But there's sadness abound 3
  Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down  Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
      
4  One day we'll return here   One day we'll return here, 4
5  When the Belfast child sings again   When the Belfast Child sings again 5
6  When the Belfast child sings again   When the Belfast Child sings again 6
      
7  So come back Billy, won't you come on home?   So come back Billy, won't you come on home 7
  Come back Mary, you've been away so long  Come back Mary, you've been away so long
  The streets are empty, and your mother's gone  The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
8  The girls are crying, it's been, oh, so long   The girls are crying, it's been oh so long 8
  And your father's calling, come on home  And your father's calling, come on home
9  Won't you come on home? Come            on home   Won't you come on home, won't you come on home 9
      
  Come back people, you've been gone a while  Come back people, you've been gone a while
10  And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle   And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle 10
  That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood  That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
  All the girls are crying but all's not lost  All the girls are crying but all's not lost
      
  The streets are empty, the streets are cold  The streets are empty, the streets are cold
11  Won't you come on home? Come            on home   Won't you come on home, won't you come on home 11
      
  The streets are empty  The streets are empty
  Life goes on  Life goes on
      
  One day we'll return here  One day we'll return here
12  When the Belfast child sings again   When the Belfast Child sings again 12
13  When the Belfast child sings again   When the Belfast Child sings again 13
