"Southie (is My Home Town)" "Old Scully Square" (or maybe it's "Remember Old Scully Square") A quick look in the data base came up empty. Thanks, Rick |

I made some minor corrections based on another source: http://www.southboston200.com/brianarticles.htm SOUTHIE IS MY HOME TOWN CHORUS: I was born down on "A" Street, raised up on "B" Street Southie is my home town. There's something about it. Permit me to shout it: We're tough from miles around. [or, "They're the tops for miles around."] We have doctors and scrappers, preachers and flappers, And men from the old County Down Say they'll take you and break you, but never forsake you. In Southie, my home town. VERSE: I had an argument the other day with a guy from Oscaloo. He was braggin' 'bout his old home town. Says I to him: "What to do?" I got hot right under the collar. To that scholar I did holler…CHORUS |

Since I am an entertainer who performed in Southie for over 25 years from the mid 60s to the disco era (old guy) i had the pleasure of performing along with my guitar this South Boston classic Southie is my home town.Here is a second verse that you might add to that tune. It was the Yankee division that made the decision to win a great victory.It was our boys from South Boston didn't care what it cost them to wipe out Germany. no matter where the enemy was lurkin there was Mickey Perkins and the gang from Southie High, they may take you and break you but never forsake you. Southie is my home town hope this could be of help to you. alcrest2000@aol.com |
