alistair hulett and dave swarbrick - when johnny came hame tae glesga كلمات الأغنية
[verse 1]
it was the only game in town, folk knew they had tae be there
when john came in tae glesga a’ the way fae aberdeen
buchanan street was heaven’ hours afore the train was due there
twa hunner thoosan gaithered up tae welcome john maclean
[chorus]
i roared and i sang till my throat was raw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
and i danced fae the tron tae the broomielaw
wi’ a lassie that was ca’d francesca
i pit my bunnet on gladstone’s heid
i missed the last tram hame tae parkheid
nicked by the law and in trouble wi’ my maw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
[verse 2]
when he stepped ontae the platform it was like a crack o’ thunder
sic a cheer it made the windows rattle all aroon’ george square
the claes were hingin’ aff him, strang men wept an’ it’s nae wonder
when the lion o’ red clydeside hirpled doon the queen street stair
[chorus]
i roared and i sang till my throat was raw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
and i danced fae the tron tae the broomielaw
wi’ a lassie that was ca’d francesca
i pit my bunnet on gladstone’s heid
i missed the last tram hame tae parkheid
nicked by the law and in trouble wi’ my maw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
[verse 3]
see him up there on yon carriage, pulled aland by brosy callants
in his hauns a scarlet banner and defiance in his e’e
haud yer wheesht and hear the message for it rings oot like a ballant
power tae the workers here an’ likewise ower in germany
[chorus]
i roared and i sang till my throat was raw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
and i danced fae the tron tae the broomielaw
wi’ a lassie that was ca’d francesca
i pit my bunnet on gladstone’s heid
i missed the last tram hame tae parkheid
nicked by the law and in trouble wi’ my maw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
[verse 4]
but at carlton place we halted for the cairt wad gae further
the weight o’ human kindness had fair worn it tae the groon
we saw johnny an’ his faimlie bundled safe inside a motor
then we drank the tap shelf dry in every howf in glesga toon
it was glesga in the glory day, though thoosans lived in squalor
fae the west end tae the soothside revolution filled the air
manny shinwell, davy kirkwood, john maclean an’ willie gallacher
said gi’e the bosses forty hours and ne’er a minute mair!
[chorus]
i roared and i sang till my throat was raw
when johnny came hame tae glesga
and i danced fae the tron tae the broomielaw
wi’ a lassie that was ca’d francesca
noo fran an’ me an’ thoosans mair
will march thegither intae george square
doon wi’ the law an’ the devil tak’ them a’
noo johnny’s came hame tae glesga
