There's a Belfast girl I loved and lost

On the rolling hills around my home

Now she stays home nights behind locked doors

Since a plastic bullet stopped him

And he don't come no more

There's a Belfast boy was loved and lost

On the crowded streets of his own home town

Pepper my heart with a lover's words

And I'll pepper yours with a Getlin gun

Mother my heart is full of lead

And it weighs me down and I just can't cry

Remember me to schoolboy friends

And tell it as it was please try

So come by my boy and sit you down

There's a tale to hear a tale to tell this town

You say the devil will get me some day

You can tell him I'm waiting

Cause these are the things I must say

Mother my heart is full of lead

And life holds few surprises too

Tell that to the little ones

Before they learn to leaugh at you

Mother my heart is full of lead

And it weighs me down and I just can't cry

Remember me to schoolboy friends

And tell it as it was please try
