The Town I Loved So Well Lyrics - Daniel O'donnell

In my memory I will always see 

the town that I have loved so well 

Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall 

and we laughed through the smoke and the smell 

Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane 

past the jail and down behind the fountain 

Those were happy days in so many, many ways 

in the town I loved so well 

 

In the early morning the shirt factory horn 

called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog 

While the men on the dole played a mother's role, 

fed the children and then trained the dogs 

And when times got tough there was just about enough 

But they saw it through without complaining 

For deep inside was a burning pride 

in the town I loved so well

There was music there in the Derry air 

like a language that we all could understand 

I remember the day when I earned my first pay 

And I played in a small pick-up band 

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth 

I was sad to leave it all behind me 

For I learned about life and I'd found 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 

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars 

and the gas that hangs on to every tree 

Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall 

and the damned 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 carry on 

For their spirit's been bruised, never broken 

They will not forget but 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 

I can only pray for a bright, brand new day 

in the town I loved so well
