    I am danish - went to see the The Dubliners in Galway in 1968 for the first time. Talked with Ronny and Luke after the concert and asked them why they not did visit Denmark - as I said: you are very popular in Denmark. - Luke said to me: We will and you shall be our manager - i thought he was joking - but i have seen The Dubliners many times in Denmark since

    There's been great Irish singers, but none quite like the great Luke Kelly..He's my favorite, and he was my mothers too..He has the right amount of righteous indignation, passion, pissed off fervor, and plus a great, great voice..Just the best..A wonderful song as well, something my dear ol' mom played alot as were had ancestors from Derry who got out right when the Great Famine hit..But we never forgot..

    I listen to this, close my eyes and im 9 years old again and back in my uncle's black Jeep. The inside smells like leather and Drum rolling tobbaco and the windows are down. We're speeding down a backroad to some car boot sale, Luke kelly is blaring in my ear and the wind coming in the window is singing alongside him. No cares in the world. I feel very fortunate to be reminded of these great memories whenever I listen to these lads.

    In my memory I will always see
    the town that I have loved so well
    where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
    and we laughed through the smoke and the smell.
    Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
    past the jail and down behind the fountain
    Those were happy days in so many many ways
    in the town I have loved so well.
    In the early morning the shirt-factory horn
    called women from Craigeen the Moor and the Bog
    while the man on the dole played the mother's role
    fed the children and then trained the dogs.
    And when times got rough there was just about enough
    but they saw it through without complaining
    for deep inside was a burning pride
    for the town I loved so well.
    There was music there in the Derry air
    like a language that we could all understand
    I remember the day when I earned my first pay
    as I played in the small pick-up band.
    There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
    I was sad to leave it all behind me
    for I'd learned 'bout life and I've found a wife
    in the town I loved so well.
    But when I returned how my eyes have burned
    to see how a town could be brought to its knees
    by the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
    and the gas that hangs on to every breeze.
    Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
    and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
    with their tanks and their guns, oh my god what have they done
    to the town I loved so well.
    Now the music's gone but I still carry on
    for their spirit's been bruised never broken
    they will not forget for their hearts are aset
    on tomorrow and peace once again.
    For what's done is done and what's won is won
    and what's lost is lost and gone forever
    I can only pray for a bright brand new day
    in the town I loved so well.

      Nah, wolftones NEVER recorded this song, I can find no evidence they ever sang it. I believe Phil Coulter wrote the song, and asked Luke to sing it.

    "For what's done is done, and what's won is won, and what's lost is lost and gone forever, I can only pray for a bright, brand new day, in the town I loved so well."
    What a fantastic lyric! Kelly really belts it out.

    Being scotch-Irish living in USA East, TN… I just can’t help but have the deepest emotional connection to Luke Kelly and traditional Irish folk music. We have Bluegrass but it doesn’t even touch the emotion of this song. Luke Kelly touches my soul every time he sings, like many Irish singers.

    "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...."
