Charlie & The Bhoys - Willie Maley lyrics

rate me

Willie Maley was his name

He brought some great names to the game

When he was the boss at Celtic Park

He taught them how to play football

He made the greatest of them all

Gallacher and Quinn have left their mark.

(Chorus)

And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay

They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay

And most of the football greats

Have past through Parkheads gates

For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

In 38 there was a show Glasgow was the place to go

A model of the tower was footballs prize

England sent 4 of the best

They didn't meet with much success

Cause the trophy ended up in paradise.

Chorus

Coronation time was here 53 that was the year

Another 4 from England met there doom

They said we'll have to try again

But like before it was in vain

Because the cup is in the Parkhead trophy room.

Chorus

And then in 1957 we faced a guy called Gorgie Nevin

The game is etched on every Celtic fan

Wilson, Mochan and Mc Phail

And Willie Fernie scored as well

As Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1.

Chorus

So 10 years they had gone and so

To Portugal we had to go, to play the team that Italy

Adore

Celtic went out to attack

They won the big cup and they brought it back

It's the first time it had been on British shores.

Chorus

And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium

We're amongst the honours once again

The Celtic fans did proudly sing

Larsson is the King of Kings

And he joins the list of famous Celtic men!

Chorus 'til whenever!
