Hi,
Does anyone have the lyrics for We're the Boys of Belfast Town, done by the Irish Rovers.
Can't find them on the Internet. Any chords would be useful too.
Thanks,

Anne

Should be a thread title change.

Thanks, Peace, that is the exact song title.
I have no idea how to change the title of a thread, though, apart from making a new post,
but the difference is hardly worth bothering with a new entry.

Sometimes it helps to post an excerpt. (This is all I could get from a sound sample.)

CHORUS: We're the boys of Belfast town,
Rantin', roarin', ramblin' round.
We're Irishmen of high renown.
That's the boys of Belfast.

We can fight with sword or pen.
We'll never break; we'll never bend.
And if we fall, we'll rise again,
For we're the boys of Belfast.

BOYS OF BELFAST

Chorus:
We're the boys of Belfast town,
Rantin' roarin' ramblin' round
We're Irishmen of high renown
That's the boys of Belfast

You will find us anywhere in the church or on the tear
Brave and bold there's none so rare as the Boys of Belfast

Chorus

We can fight with sword or pen we'll never break we'll never bend
And if we fall we'll rise again for we're the boys of Belfast

Chorus

When we're back on paddy's shore the lassies will be sad no more
Tonight we'll make the rafters roar in the pubs of Belfast
