Paddy Schmidt - My Belfast lyrics
Your rating:
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
