The Irish Rovers - Belfast lyrics

Oh, I wish I was in Belfast With some good old friends of mine Some good old rough companions And some good old smooth red wine We could talk about the old times And the old town's sad decline And drink to the boys on the road Oh, I Was born in Belfast In the center of the town I'd take you there and show you But they've pulled the old place down And when I think about it It always makes me frown They bulldozed it all to make a road Chorus: And that great old place I miss so much Has seen much better days And still talk abou tit As we go out separate ways Ah, but Belfast gave me more Than she ever took away She prepared for me the life on the road My mother was a cleaner My grandad drove a tram My father was an engineer And they made me all I am They have seen the city come and go And still they give a damn There's so much to learn along the road Repeat Chorus
