lwill always see

the town that l

have loved so well
called women from Creggan,

the moor and the bog
while their men on the dole
played a mother's role

fed the children and

the moor and the bog
And when times got tough,

there was just about enough

but they saw it through

without complaining
but they saw it through

without complaining
for deep inside

was a burning pride

in the town I

loved so well
there in that, Derry air

like a language that we

all could understand
like a language that we

all could understand
I remember the day

when I earned my first pay

lplayed in a small

pick-up band
lplayed in a small

pick-up band
lspent my youth

and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave

it all behind me
lwas sad to leave

it all behind me
for I learned about life

and I found me a wife
in the town I

loved so well
But when I returned

how my eyes have burned

to see how a town

could be brought to its knees
to see how a town

could be brought to its knees
Now the army's installed
by the old gas yard wall

and the damded barbed wire

gets higher and higher
by the old gas yard wall

and the damded barbed wire

gets higher and higher
with their tanks and their guns

oh my God

what have they done

to the town I loved so well
Now the music's gone

but they still carry on
their Spirit's been

bruised. but never broken
they will not forget but

their hearts are set
on tomorrow and

peace once again.
their hearts are set

on tomorrow and

peace once again.
For what's done is done
and what's won is won

and what's lost is lost

and gone forever
and what's lost is lost

and gone forever
I can only pray

for a bright,

brand new day

in the town I loved so well
in the town i loved so well
