Town I loved so Well - Paddy Reilly[00:00:00]

In my memory I will always see[00:00:18]

The town that I have loved so well[00:00:26]

Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall[00:00:34]

And they laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:43]

Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:51]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:01:00]

Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:08]

In the town I loved so well[00:01:17]

In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:26]

Called women from creggan the moor and the bog[00:01:34]

While the men on the dole played a mother's role[00:01:42]

Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:01:51]

And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:01:59]

And they saw it through without complaining[00:02:07]

For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:16]

In the town I loved so well[00:02:24]

There was music there in the derry air[00:02:33]

Like a language that we all could understand[00:02:41]

I remember the day that I earned my first pay[00:02:50]

When I played in a small pick up band[00:02:58]

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:03:06]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:15]

For I learned about life and I found a wife[00:03:23]

In the town I loved so well[00:03:31]

But when I returned how my eyes have burned[00:03:48]

To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:57]

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:04:05]

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:04:13]

Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:04:21]

And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:30]

With their tanks and their guns[00:04:39]

Oh my god what have they done[00:04:43]

To the town I loved so well[00:04:47]

Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:04:56]

For their spirits been bruised never broken[00:05:04]

They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:05:13]

On tomorrow and peace once again[00:05:21]

For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:05:29]

And what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:05:38]

I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:47]

In the town I love so well[00:05:55]
