Town I Loved So Well - Hugo Duncan[00:00:00]
In my memory I will always see[00:00:08]
The town that I have loved so well[00:00:17]
Where the school played ball[00:00:25]
By the gas yard wall[00:00:29]
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:33]
Going home in the rain runnin' up the dark lane[00:00:42]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:50]
Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:00:59]
In the town that I loved so well[00:01:07]
In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:16]
Called women from creggan[00:01:24]
The moor and the bog[00:01:29]
While the men on the dole played a mother's role[00:01:33]
Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:01:41]
And when times got rough[00:01:49]
There was just about enough[00:01:53]
But they saw it through without complaining[00:01:57]
For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:06]
In the town that I loved so well[00:02:14]
There was music there in the derry air[00:02:23]
Like a language that we could all understand[00:02:31]
I remember the day when I earned my first pay[00:02:40]
As I played in a small pick up band[00:02:48]
There I spent my youth[00:02:56]
And to tell you the truth[00:03:00]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:05]
For I learned about life and I found a wife[00:03:13]
In the town that I loved so well[00:03:22]
But when I returned how my eyes they burned[00:03:30]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:39]
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:03:47]
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:03:55]
Now the army's installed by the old gas yard wall[00:04:04]
And the d**ned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:12]
With their tanks and their guns[00:04:20]
Oh my God what have they done[00:04:24]
To the town that I loved so well[00:04:29]
Now the music's gone go they still carry on[00:04:37]
For their spirit's been bruised never broken[00:04:46]
Though they'll not forget[00:04:54]
Still their hearts are set[00:04:58]
On tomorrow and peace once again[00:05:02]
For what's done is done[00:05:11]
And what's won is won[00:05:15]
But what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:05:19]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:27]
In the town that I loved so well[00:05:36]
