Bhoys Against Bigotry lyrics and guitar chords
By Charlie And The Bhoys-Scotland's No1 Irish Folk Band,
This song is about a campaign that was started to stop Irish songs being sang at Glasgow Celtic's football matches. What next I ask ? has this so called political correctness gone too far ?. One of Paddy McGuigan's songs gets a mention, ''The Boys Of The Old Brigade'' which is about an old man reminiscing to his son about days gone by. There is nothing bitter in the song.
It's actually a very sad story about how he would dearly love to meet his old comrades again. The Boys Of The Old Brigade lyrics and chords The video is of Charlie And The Bhoys at The Barrowlands singing Bhoys Against Bigotry.

If you [D] come from Belfast Town, Derry [G] City, County [D] Down,
The Calton Tullygally, or from [A] Bray You can come along and see [G] Bhoys against [D] Bhigotry But don’t you sing ‘Boys [A] of the old Bri[D]gade’ Cos Fergus he said no, these tunes will have to go These Rebel songs no longer can be played So we’ve made our self’s a pact, to polish up our act So don’t you sing ‘Boys of the old Brigade’ You can sing of big Jock Brown, against the Famine and the Crown ‘The Fields of Athenry’ just makes the grade You can sing Glen Daly’s tone and ‘you’ll never walk alone’ But don’t you sing ‘Boys of the old Brigade’ The campaign’s under way, Pete McLean has had a say A loyalist through and through it has been said He has made a lot of cash, as hides his Orange Sash And he doesn’t know ‘Boys of the old Brigade’ So it’s no more Crossmaglen, Up the Ra, or Fenian men ‘Sean Sabhat of Garryowen’ must not be played ‘The broad black brimmer’ has to go, ‘Take it down’ and ‘Say hello’ And don’t you sing ‘Boys of the old Brigade’ So children, Mums and Dads, do not sing ‘ where are the lads Who stood with me when history was made’ And don’t sing old ‘Gra mo chroi’and how you long to see To see the ‘Boys of the old brigade’ |
