The Town I Loved So Well

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Town I Loved So Well" is a song written by Phil Coulter about his childhood in Derry, Northern Ireland. The first three verses are about the simple lifestyle he grew up with in Derry, while the final two deal with the Troubles, and lament how his placid hometown had become a major military outpost, plagued with sectarian violence. It has been covered by The Dubliners and Pierre Bensusan.
