WHEN I LEAVE OLD “GLASGOW” BEHIND

I'm leavin old Glasgow forever, I'm sayin ta-ta cheerio
So all my old ties I must sever, for the Landlady says I must go
I'm sailin away o’er the ocean, To the land where the buildings are tall,
I don’t need this Toon any longer, so I’ll give it away to you all
I'll leave the Celtic Park for the “Celtic”, The “Rangers” at Ibrox Can Dwell,
Plenty of “Bookies” you’ve loved all Yir Life, I’ll leave “Partic Thistle” as well
The Paki’s can have Paddy's Market, The Barra's as well I don’t mind
But I’ll leave ye something for Auld Lang Syne, when I leave Old Glasgow behind

I tried to get someone to buy it. I tried ma Hardest to Sell.
A Millionaire offered tae pay me so I threw in Rothsay as well.
The Toons in an awful condition, and that’s why I’m going to quit
I’m sailing away to the Old USA, you can have Glasgow back in a gift.
I'll leave the Kelvin Grove Park tae the Lovers. An Sauchiehall Street tae the Clicks
Our own “Rabbie Burns” he can have Georges Square, An all the Bad Boys can have Necks
The Toffs they can have Newton Mearns and Bearsden as well don’t Mind,
An I’ll leave ye something for Auld Lang Syne When I Leave Old Glasgow behind

I’ll leave the Ashfield Track Tae the Greyhounds, Then somewhere tae Pitch an Toss,
The Hipsters and Spounders can have Diggy Square; The Irish can have Gorbals Cross,
I’ll leave you a Pub at each corner, where all my old Palls you will find
An I’ll leave ye something for Auld Lang Syne When I Leave Old Glasgow behind
An I’ll leave ye something for Auld Lang Syne When I Leave Old Glasgow behind
