Something something

Poor Charlie ran tae tell his maw

Whaur Alan Morton pit the baw.

 Could this be it? 
Oh, Cherlie Shaw, he never saw
Whaur Alan Morton pit the ba',
And when the ba' went in the net
Oh Cherlie Shaw, he sat and gret.
The English came, and tried their game,
To beat the Scots was a' their aim,
But Scotland's boys, wi' hearts so stout,
Soon put the English team to rout!
(Chorus)
Ally's Tartan Army!
Ally's Tartan Army!
We're off to Argentina,
And we're gonna shake them all up!
Big John Robertson, he's our man,
He gets the ball and does what he can,
He beats a man, he takes a shot,
And the keeper says, "Oh dear, it's hot!"
The Dutch came next, we weren't perplexed,
Our Gordon Strachan, he was vexed,
He ran around, he passed the ball,
And soon the Dutch were in a squall!
(Chorus)
Ally's Tartan Army!
Ally's Tartan Army!
We're off to Argentina,
And we're gonna shake them all up!
So come on Scotland, let's all sing,
And make the Argentine ground ring,
With pipes and drums and voices loud,
We'll make our country proud!
(Chorus)
Ally's Tartan Army!
Ally's Tartan Army!
We're off to Argentina,
And we're gonna shake them all up!

A fragment from a No Surrender add-on:

 

Hold up your head Willie Woodburn 

For we have faith in you 

We know your heart’s at Ibrox Park

With the boys in royal blue.

 

No more you’ll step on Ibrox sward

With Sammy at your side

Memory bank failure.

No.
 

Morton v Shaw is 1930s long before the ill fated expedition to the Argentine.

[Fa1833 430]

Hold up your head Willie Woodburn
For we have faith in you
We know your heart’s at Ibrox Park
With the boys in royal blue.
No more you’ll step on Ibrox sward
With Sammy at your side
But you’ll be there in spirit, Bill
To cheer them far and wide.
We’ll fight for you Willie Woodburn
We’ll battle to the end
We’ll keep the blue flag flying high
For you, our loyal friend.
So hold up your head Willie Woodburn
We know you’ll see us through
And we’ll be waiting patiently
Until you’re back in blue.

 

👊

Ignore the top 

 

 

Oh, Cherlie Shaw, he never saw
Whaur Alan Morton pit the ba',
And when the ba' went in the net
Oh Cherlie Shaw, he sat and gret.
He sat and gret, he sat and grat,
Because the ba' went in like that!
Oh, Cherlie Shaw, he never saw
Whaur Alan Morton pit the ba'.

Amazing how simple a word can sound even though spelt wrong yet  also rhymes 

 

he sat and grat,
Because the ba' went in like that!

The Legend of Alan Morton

 

He was a proud young Airdrie lad, Alan Morton was his name.

He played for Glasgow Rangers, the left wing was his game.

The Ibrox crowd, we loved him so, we cheered him loud and long.

And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’

And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’

 

Now Alan played his heart away in the Rangers’ Royal Blue.

And then one famous Saturday, in Scotland’s darker hue,

Young Alan laid the English low, the legend it was born,

 

And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on'

And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’

 

At least that is the story my father told to me,

He said ‘My son when you’re a man, will you do one thing for me,

Each Saturday down Ibrox way, though Alan’s dead and gone,

Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: ‘Follow on!’

 

Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: ‘Follow on!’

Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: Follow on!?

The Archie Knox channel has a ton of Rangers songs from the old days, btw.

If I'm not mistaken that's the tune from "The Wild Colonial Boy."
