"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 violence. It has been covered by The Dubliners and Pierre Bensusan. Tri Yann, a famous Breton music band, has also covered this song, re-titled "La Ville que J'ai Tant Aimée", with lyrics in French. A German version was covered by Hannes Wader, re-titled "Kleine Stadt".
