1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 On Stamford Bridge, a swirling mourning mist
Descends upon the day,
Where we’d harp on back to the chances missed
Or what forwards we should play.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Who’s twist for the programmes
Or the Bovrils steaming hot
Who’ll meet me on the East Stand ramp,
Bitterly complaining, coz it’s almost three-o-clock?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Those sanctified treasured moments
Of great away games spring to mind
The four all draw at Hillsborough
After being three behind.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 That lovely sunny day down at The Goldstone
When our new team raided town
Speedie and Dixon could have had a barrowload
Before the half time break came round.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Being mesmerised by Patsy
And the iconic Joey Jones
Micky Thomas up at Old Trafford
Terrific times where ere we roamed.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 That first and ever only time
We left a match before the end
At Wrexham where we pulled the irons
Out of the fire again.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Dodgy games of poker
On those barbaric football specials
With the onus on us jokers
To keep proceedings mellow.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 In crazy all night queues for tickets
We laughed out loud together
What the hell were we playing at,
Stood out in this atrocious English weather?

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 The rows about our best forward line
With Wee Patsy on the wing
Zola, Speedie and Dixon as yer number nine
Guaranteed to win.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 We’ve seen some well weird places John
And watched some blinding games
But that all changes, now you’re gone
And “Over The Bridge” won’t feel the same!
