Today is Wednesday, the 25th of August 2021.
When the tigers broke free... that was an exciting day at the zoo. Or was it a circus?
I have heard they ate a lot of tiger lilies. Well, that's what the white rabbit said when
it lost its pocket watch...
"Bromford Child"
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the Gallow Tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's suffering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Bromford Child sings again
Brothers, sisters, where are you now?
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God, the Church and the Government
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Bromford Child sings again
When the Bromford Child sings again
So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
And your father's calling, come on home
Won't you come on home? come on home
Come back people, you've been gone a while
And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but all's not lost
Well, the streets are empty, the streets are cold
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
The streets are empty
Life goes on
One day we'll return here
When the Bromford Child sings again
When the Bromford Child sings again
Belfast
