    Irish Football Songs

    I'm not talking about songs like Jack is the Daddy-O or The Game (We Didn't Start the Fire). Though those are great, I was wondering what songs are sung at Irish Football Matches (as I have never had the chance to go to one). I know You'll Never Walk Alone was sung at Stade de France. I figure Que Sera Sera and maybe The Battle Hymn of the Republic (the same tune as We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland) are because they are general football songs, any others (lyrics would be great)?

    Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here

    "All you need is Duff" which is a pretty crap one

    Que Sera was doing the rounds a while back, though it had the line "whatever will be will be, we're going to Germany" so it died a quick death.

    We've got a right back called Steve Finnan,
    When he plays we're always winnin,
    Passes the ball, out and in again,
    We've got a right back called Steve Finnan.

    Never got going at the match but a great one in the pub before hand.

    ole ole ole ole.....

    Molly Malone and clap your hands and chant Ireland instead of singing the chorus but that has died out now.

    Come on ye boys in green

    You'll never walk alone (maybe not as difficult for manyoo fans now given that they sang it before Liverpool did)

    Who put the ball in the English net? Rayo Rayo Houghton

    and especially for Wales

    You're Brits and you know you are

    You're just a small part of England

    personally i love the old style stuff. spent 8-9 years on the terraces in landsdowne late 80's , early 90's , and you'd always get the 'on the one road" "molly malone" - we seem to take our lead form the brits lately ' stand up for the boys in green etc ****e, next it will be 'who are ya" !!!...have to say the irish fans are still magnificient - regardless of what they sing, so i dont want to be to critical!!!

    'on the one road"
    i think that would be a great song to get going. great ring to it and good fast rythym. agreed about copying the english league songs.
    I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    We need a dedicated SongSheets thread on here, with lyrics to songs, and possibly links to the sings.

    I'll start:

    1) "On the One Road"


    (Chorus)
    We're on the one road
    Sharing the one load
    We're on the road to God knows where
    We're on the one road
    It may be the wrong road
    But we're together now who cares
    North men, South men, comrades all
    Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
    We're on the one road swinging along
    Singing a soldier's song

    Though we've had our troubles now and then
    Now is the time to make them up again
    Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow
    Now is the time to step together now

    (Chorus repeat)

    Tinker, tailor, every mother's son
    Butcher, baker shouldering his gun
    Rich man, poor man, every man in line
    All together just like Old Land Syne

    (Chorus repeat)

    Night is darkest just before the dawn
    From dissention Ireland is reborn
    Soon we'll all be United Irishmen
    Make our land a Nation Once Again

    (Chorus repeat)

    2) "Molly Malone"

    1. In Dublin's fair city,
    Where girls are so pretty,
    I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
    As she pushed her wheelbarrow
    Through streets broad and narrow,
    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
    Chorus:
    Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

    2. Now she was a fishmonger,
    And sure twas no wonder,
    For so were her mother and father before,
    And they each wheeled their barrow,
    Through streets broad and narrow,
    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
    Chorus:

    3. She died of a fever,
    And no one could save her,
    And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
    Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
    Through streets broad and narrow,
    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
    Chorus:

    3) Oró, sé do bheatha abhaile

    (Chorus)-
    Oró, sé do bheatha abhaile,
    Oró, sé do bheatha abhaile,
    Oró, sé do bheatha abhaile
    Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.

    'Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar,
    do ba é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann,
    do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach,
    is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh.

    (Chorus):-

    Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile,
    óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda,
    Gaeil iad féin is ní Gaill ná Spáinnigh,
    is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.

    (Chorus):-

    A bhuí le Rí na bhFeart go bhfeiceann,
    mura mbim beo ina dhiaidh ach seachtain,
    Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch,
    ag fógairt féin ar Ghallaibh.

    (Chorus):-

    the fields of athenrye, on the one road, boys in green, molly malone and the good old roars of "ireland" is a sound repertoire (could always thro in the national anthem at the second half kick off!!). no hint of english influence, every irish fan knows the words and best of all - they are sure to rouse the team!!! - anyone with a fookin pulse would kick it up a notch if you heard thousands of paddy's belting any of these tunes out!!!!

    You'll never walk alone has always been a big favourite.

    I don't support eithwer Man Utd or Liverpool. Many Manyoo and Ireland fans had a problem with it. I used to (well still do) give a mate a terrible ribbing as he stood on the kop scarf aloft singing YNWA. (euro 96 playoff).

    The reference to manyoo was a recent study proved that it was first sung by Man utd fans in 1958 whereas Liverpool didn't pick it up until the early 60's. Celtic had aclaim on it too I believe.

    Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch,
    ag fógairt féin ar Ghallaibh.

    (Chorus):-

    4) The Fields of Athenry

    1-
    By a lonely prison wall
    I heard a young girl calling
    Micheal they are taking you away
    For you stole Trevelyn's corn
    So the young might see the morn.
    Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
    Chorus
    Low lie the Fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
    Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

    -2-
    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.

    Chorus

    -3-
    By a lonely harbour wall
    She watched the last star falling
    As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
    Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
    For her love in Botany Bay
    It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

    Chorus

    5) You'll Never Walk Alone


    When you walk through the storm
    Hold your head up high
    And don't be afraid of the dark
    At the end of the storm
    There's a golden sky
    And the sweet silver song of the lark

    Walk on, through the wind
    Walk on, through the rain
    Though your dreams be tossed and blown
    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone
    You'll never walk alone

    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone
    You'll never walk alone

    And I hope people stop singing that ridiculous "IRA" and "Sinn Féin" bits in the chorus. It really p1sses me off

    Ill make the first objection, molly malone is not inclusive enough, its about some smelly DUB!!!

    But seriouslly though, some people will be against "on the one road" for its "sectarian" references. I wonder could they be replaced - the lines that is? Cos its a great sing along song, especially if you could get one sectoin singing one part and the other section singing the other!!

    good thinking superdavedub...and a free pint for everyone who sings

    its a start though i think some people would be embarrassed to have to look at a magazine for the words, would be great for oro se de bheath abhaile though, especially if you did an "english" sound of it like eirebhoy did for the national anthem.

    actually on that point, do ye think it would be worth trying to get onto carslberg or something and say something about getting singing going at matches, I mean more people who are drunk sing, and more people who sing are drunk, it benefits both parties!
