Subject: RE: Wild Rover - do folks still sing this song?
If you don't care any more for the original Fields of Athenry, try this version sung by the Liverpool fans on the Kop. A true case of the folk process in action... :-) To the same tune:
Outside the Shankly Gates I heard a Kopite calling: Shankly they have taken you away But you left a great eleven Before you went to heaven Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road
All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) We had Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road
Outside the Paisley Gates I heard a Kopite calling Paisley they have taken you away... You led the great 11 Back in Rome in 77 And the redmen they are still playing the same way
All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Steve Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road
Beside the Hillsborough Flame I heard a Kopite mourning Why so many taken on that day? Justice has never been done But their memory will carry on There'll be glory around the Fields of Anfield Road
