GUEST,Kenny B (inactive) Origins: The Old Orange Flute (21) RE: Origins: The Old Orange Flute 22 Jul 22


This from an old thread I think adds some balance to the discussion

Subject: Lyr Add: THE DERRY AND CUMBERLAND BOYS
From: Teribus
Date: 05 Jun 02 - 02:35 AM

Again from dim and distant memory, I may have this mixed up a bit, but somebody out thre will know:

"THE DERRY AND CUMBERLAND BOYS"

Noo ye've heard o the Billies and Sallys
The Norman Conk and the San Toy
Here's two more tae add tae yer tally
The Derry and Cumberland Boys

Noo the Cumbie Boys are Roman Catholic
Tae chapel they've been wance ot twice
But Parkhead is their new Jerusalem
And Jock Stein the latter day Christ

And the Derry Boys are tae be christians
That's plain baith tae hear and tae see
For their language is really religious
"Jesus Christ", "Oh my God", "FTP"

When asked what they think o religion
They'll say "Aw religions aw right"
But these guys are only religious
When they want an excuse for a fight

So don't wear a green scarf in Brigton
Or a blue scarf in Cumberland Street
No unless your a heavy weight champion
Or hell o a quick on yer feet

Cheers,

Bill.
