Johnny Doyle
(tune: Johnny Doyle )
I’ve travelled round these islands, from shore to shining shore,

I’ve met so many heroes from the team that I adore,

I followed Glasgow Celtic, from London to Aberdeen,

But I always remember, the Man who loved the Green.


(chorus)

And Johnny Doyle told me, just before he died,

I live for Glasgow Celtic and the Tim Malloys.



He came from Ayr United, to join his favourite team,

To play for Glasgow Celtic, would fulfill his dream,

Around about St. Patrick’s Day, signed by Big Jock Stein,

He played only for the jersey, the man who loved the Green.



(chorus)



In Europe 1980, he made a gallant bid,

He capped a great performance, against Real Madrid,

He rose with two defenders, to win the ball so clean,

With Sabido and Camacho, was the man who loved the Green.



(chorus)



So in your prayers remember, a gallant Celtic son,

His young life cut so cruelly in 1981,

The 19th of October is a day that I’ll be seen,

Browsing through my photos, of the man who lived the Green.

always remembered Johnny:

There's none like the bhoys in the green and the white
They'd each run through walls and ne'er give up the fight
They would stand in the fire each man true and bold
Faith in the flag of the Green White and Gold
They came from Irish blood and tough Scottish toil
When you're in heaven ask the young Johnny Doyle
From the prayerof St Walfrid to the boots of McStay
We will follow forever the bhoys of the old brigade
