| THE JOHN THOMSON SONG commemorating the death of the hero john thomson who died whilst playing in goal during an old firm match on september the fifth 1931 A young lad named John Thomson, From the west of Fife he came, To play for Glasgow Celtic, And to make himself a name. On the fifth day of September, 'gainst the Rangers club he played, From defeat he saved the Celtic, Ah but what price he paid. The ball rolled from the centre, Young John ran out and dived, The Ball rolled by:young John lay still, For his club this hero died. I took a trip to Parkhead, To dear old Paradise, And as the players came out, Sure the tears fell from my eyes. For a famous face was missing, From the green and white brigade, And they told me Jhonny Thomson, His last game he had played. Farewell my darling Johnny, Prince of players we must part, No more we'll stand and cheer you, On the slopes of Celtic Park. Now the fans they all are silent, As they travel near and far, No more they'll cheer John Thomson, Our bright and shining star. So come all you Glasgow Celtic, Stand up and play the game, For between your posts there stands a ghost, Johnny Thomson is his name . The original version of the John Thomson song I took a tramcar up to Parkhead, to the dear old Paradise, Where Celts made their appearance and the tears fell from my eyes. A familiar face was missing from the green and white brigade And they told me Jhonny Thomson was lying in his grave Goodbye Jhonny Thomson, for the best of friends must part, No more we'll stand and cheer you on the slopes of Celtic Park. The old Green flag looks lonely but proudly it still flies, You were its friend right to the end, Jhonny Thomson goodbye. ............................... Over and Over chourus: O-verand O-ver we will follow you O-ver and O-ver we will see you through, We are Celtic supporters,faithful through and through, and over and over we will follow you. If you go to Germany,you will see us there, France or Spain its all the same, We'll go any where, We'll be there to cheer you, as you travel round, you can take us anywhere,we wont let you down CHOURUS If you go to Lisbon,wee'll go once again, In Zaire ye'll find us there calling out your name, when you need supporting',you will always know, we'll be right there with you every where you go CHOURUS ...................... The Fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall.I heard a young girl calling. Michael,they are taking you away,for you stole Trevelyns corn.so the young may not see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting on the bay Chorus Low lie,the fields of Athenry,where once we watched th small free birds fly.our love was on the wing,we had dreams and songs to sing. its so lonely 'round the fiels of athenry. By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling. Nothing matters Mary when you're free, Against the famine and the crown I rebelled,they ran me down Now you must raise our child with dignity. CHOURUS By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling. And that prison ship sailed out against the sky. Sure she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany bay. Its so lonely round the fields of Athenry The Wild Rover Ive been a wild rover for manies a year, Ive spent all my money on whiskey and beer, But now im retourning with gold in great store, Never to play the Wild Rover no more, CHORUS And its no nay never no nay never no more, Will i play the wild rover no nay never no more, I went in to an ale house i used to frequent, I told the landlady my money was spent, I asked her for credit she answered me nay, Such a custom as yours i could have any day, REPEAT CHORUS Then i pulled from my pocket ten sovereigns bright, And the landladys eyes opened wide with delight, She said we have wines of the finest and beers of the best the words that i told u were only in jest, REPEAT CHORUS Ill go home to my parents confess what ive done, ill ask them to pardon their prodigal son, And once the've carresed me as of times before, Ill promise never to play the wild rover no more, REPEAT CHORUS The Soldier's Song The chorus of this the Irish National anthem will be heard sang around celtic park on matchdays. Chorus Soilder are we,whose lives are pledged to Ireland; Some have come froma land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free,no more our ancient sireland shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the 'Bhearna Bhaoil', In Erins cause, come woe or weal; 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles'peal We'll chant a soldier's song Another celtic park favourite is this one. Hail Hail,the Celts are here, What the hell do we care, What the hell do we care, Hail Hail,The Celts are here, What the hell do we care now.... For its a grand old team to play for, For its a grand old team to see, and if you know the history its enough to make your heart go NINE-IN-A ROW We dont care what the animals say, What the hell do we care. For its all we know, Is that theres going to be a show, and the GLASGOW CELTIC will be there. |
