Letra de 'Celtic Over All' de Charlie and The Bhoys

In 1888 me boys a group of Irish men
Had formed a brand new Football team in Glasgow's dark East End
And Brother Walfrid then addressed them in St. Mary's hall
He said Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

The Rangers club the came to open dear old Paradise
And Neil McCallum scored the first and then they realised
The game was o'er and then James Kelly handed him the ball
He said Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

In 1892 the cup was won on Ibrox soil
The Queens Park team had no reply, they met with big Dan Doyle
We celebrated all night long the Irish one and all
We sang Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

The early 20th century saw Glasgow Celtic win
Six flags in a row, with Sommers, Loney, Hays and Quinn
Napoleon and the Icicle with Adams big and tall
Sang Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All .

The war to end all wars was on but Celtic did not sigh
The Easter rising of 16 had kept our spirits high
With Sonny Jim and Charlie Shaw and sniper Jim McColl
Singing Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All .

All through the 20's we produced some men of great amaze
McGrory, Wilson and McLean the Thomson's and McStay's
When Patsy did somersault his feet around the ball
He sang Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

The Empire Exhibition came to Glasgow on the Clyde
As had they tried the Sunderland and Hearts were swept aside
The Everton their hearts were broke as Divers, Crum and all
Sang Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All .

Those bigots from the SFA were plain to be seen
They tried to take away our flag of orange white and green
The banner stays Sir Robert says in answer to our call
He said Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

In 1953 the Coronation Cup was won
Then Celtic 7 Rangers 1 was Hampden in the sun
When Bertie Peacock held aloft the cup we heard him call
He said Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

Bill Shankly said to Stein one afternoon in Lisbon town
Hey Jock now your immortal with your European crown
All Glasgow was a sea of green that night as I recall
We sang Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

We've Protestants and Catholics here together once again
Just like the days yore with the United Irish men
9 in a row it goes to show the greatest team of all
It's Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.

Now in a new millennium we're yearning for a team
To match our brand new stadium, I hope it's not a dream
Oh Gradh mo Croidhe, I long to see the writing on the wall
Saying Celtic first and Celtic last and Celtic Over All.
