Favourite Everton songs of all time?

[jaycee]

I think 20,000 Bluenoses sang it with a lot more spirit than the Seekers, although they were good, they didn’t raise the hairs on the back of your neck like us Toffees!!

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

More about the participation level and the moment than anything...IMHO.

…E-V-E-R-T-O-N

…brilliant find, brings back some memories.

Not the song itself but more of the song and the moment combined…. On the overnight train to Kharkiv from Kiev. Seemed like there were 40+ carriages with Blues in every one. Marseille beat the RS 1-0 and you could feel the train move as “never felt more like singing the blues” passed the news down along every carriage.

And the same song felt like it lasted about 20 minutes the following night in their stadium.

Now I’ll tell you the story of a poor boy
Who was sent far away from his home
To fight for his king and his country
And all of the old folks back home…

What was the rest of our version of that? From 1985 wasn't it?

Yes, I remember it as ( but maybe corrected);

so they stick him in an Irish division
and sent him to a far foreign land
Where the flies fly around in their thousands and there’s nothing to see but sand
As he lay on the battlefield dying dying dying
With the blood rushing out of his head
these were the last words he said;
Oh I am an Evertonian, I stand on the gwladys street,
I love to sing, I love to shout, I love to get kicked out
We’ve played in England played in Ireland played in Wales too
We’ve beat the nest teams in the land,
4-1, 4-3 4-2
O I am am evertonian (repeat)

What a great twist that is at the end.

Was there also a verse about a battle starting under the sun and getting shot, I know the RS did but I know that that doesn't mean that ours did too or that the words would have been the same

Long time ago, if you have something else, you’ll probably be right.

They didn't sing much at the match when my family went to Australia in 1960, apart from Oh oh oh oh, what a referee......, but I
used to like 'We hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John,etc, and Harry Catterick, Harry Catterick and so on to Hari Krishna, but they're out of date now, aren't they.

I think ‘on the banks of the royal blue Mersey’ may get used a lot more at BMD!!

Them nest teams are hard to beat, a feather in your cap if you do.

Before my time like, but someone unearthed this gem a few years back.

Noticed at Leeds away last week this was getting sung and again yesterday at Brighton I could make it out, great song, hopefully it gets more popular and we start hearing it at Goodison
