1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 With our songs and dreams
And old Jungle tales
Were Grandfather watched
The brothers McPhail.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 On Parkhead’s pitch
Were our hopes would unfold
Celtic’s icons and heroes
Would play for the green, white & gold.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 With our father’s we would walk
On many a rainy day
Along the old Gallowgate
To sing and watch the Celtic play.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We grew up on Dalglish
And matured on McGrain
Was blessed by a young McStay
And worshipped the legend of Larsson.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Glories we have reveled
Defeats we have tasted
Lisbon was the crown
That our fathers celebrated.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 And we will raise our young
In the hoops of green
Where their faith will be in God,
And Glasgow’s Irish team.
