A day late...but what the hell...
Sure it's old, but it is beautiful
And the colors they are fine
It was worn at St.Colmans Park, Station Road,
The Showgrounds, and against Club Brugges .
Sure my father wore it when a youth
In the bygone days of yore,
And it's in The Shed I love to wear
The jersey my father wore.
Sure I'm an Loyal Sligoman
And from North Sligo I came
To see my lads go (scoring)?
Once or twice in every game.
And to dream of the players
Who played in days of yore
All those heroes of the past
Like Eddie Annand they did score.
Sure it's old but it is beautiful,
It's the best you've ever seen,
Being worn since Ninteen Twenty Eight
In that little isle of green
From my Bit O`Red forefathers
It descended with a lore
It's a terror to the Finn Harps boys
To see The Rovers Score.
So here I am in Sligo Town
To find Sean Connor you see
And I'm hoping that the Belfast Man
Will come to welcome me.
A true Red i have just arrived
From the dear old Ulster shore
and From the shed i want to see
Faz and McT. Score.
Chorus
Oh, when I'm going to leave you all
Oh, good luck to you I'll say
As I cross the raging sea, my boys,
Surely in the Premier Division they`ll play.
And returning to our native place
To the Premier Division once more
To be welcomed by those Derry Men
In the jersey my father wore.
Chorus
