Willie Maley. Lyrics And Chords
A Celtic Supporters Football Supporters song by Charlie And The Bhoys, Scotland's No1 Irish folk and Celtic rebel band.
[A]Willie Maley was his name he brought some great names to the game [D]when he was the boss at Celtic[Bm] Park
[E]He taught them how to play football he made the greatest of them all Gallacher and Quinn have left their [A/E]mark.
(Chorus)
[A]And they gave us James McGrory and Paul Mc[D]Stay they gave us [D]Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and[A/E] Hay
[A]And most of the football greats have [D]past through Parkheads [Bm]gates for to [E]play football the Glasgow Celtic [A/E]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
With 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 still proudly sing Larsson is the King of Kings; he joins that list
[A]Willie Maley was his name he brought some great names to the game [D]when he was the boss at Celtic[Bm] Park
