The Arms of Belfast Town

What about ya Danny boy God knows it's been a while You told the truth and shamed the devil And ran away in style For Ulster it was angry The sea was full of guilt All the faith in which we stood Was the blood our father spilt So it's farewell to New York City To all our sorrows drowned Tomorrow we'll be sitting pretty Our divided destinies bound In the arms of Belfast Town In those days I fear for living You made no long goodbyes From the terror, threats and dread Deception, fraud and lies When we died by the soldier Now we'll die by the vote While fates right hand has got a grip Around all of our throats So it's farewell to New York City To all our sorrows drowned Tomorrow we'll be sitting pretty Our divided destinies bound In the arms of Belfast Town Well the Lagan it still flows From Slieve Croob to Belfast Lough While the murals still recall A land that time forgot So if your baby leaves you lonely And your heart begins to pine For those rainy summer nights Drunk on Buckfast Tonic Wine So it's farewell to New York City To all our sorrows drowned Tomorrow we'll be sitting pretty Our divided destinies bound So it's farewell to New York City To all our sorrows drowned Tomorrow we'll be sitting pretty Our divided destinies bound In the arms of Belfast Town In the arms of Belfast Town In the arms of Belfast Town Belfast
