The Arms of Belfast Town Lyrics by Ricky Warwick

Belfast Confetti

2009

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
