    You'll be hearing this a lot tonight, if you can make out what the Scousers are actually singing. Just thought I'd put a Barnsley theme to it. Check this slow version out if you don't know how it goes. The Liverpool fans sing it with much more gusto though.

    Outside the Ponty End
    I heard a Reds fan calling :
    Preedy they have taken you away
    But you left a great eleven
    Before you went to heaven
    Now it's glory round the Fields of Oakwell Lane.

    All round the Fields of Oakwell Lane
    Where once we watched the King Ronnie play (and he could play)
    We had Marcelle on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    Of the glory round the Fields of Oakwell Lane

    Outside the Ponty End
    I heard a Reds fan calling
    Danny they have taken you away..
    You led the great 11
    Back in April of 97
    And the redmen they are still playing the same way

    All round the Fields of Oakwell Lane
    Where once we watched the King Ronnie play (and he could play)
    We had Marcelle on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    Of the glory round the Fields of Oakwell Lane.

    Don't know what made you bother to be honest

    why try to appropriate a Scouse song??

    Technically, it's not a Scouse song...

    It's derived from the Fields Of Athenry - an old Irish "rebel" song (one of the softer ones, admittedly) and sung by the Celtic fans...

    By a lonely prison wall,
    I heard a young girl call:
    "Michael, they have taken you away,
    For you stole Trevelyn's corn,
    So the young might see the morn.
    Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

    By a lonely prison wall,
    I heard a young man call
    "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
    Against the famine and the crown,
    I rebelled, they cut me down.
    Now you must raise our child with dignity."

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

    By a lonely harbor wall,
    She watched the last star fall
    As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
    For she lived to hope and pray
    For her love in Botany Bay
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

    I do, and I agree...

    I think teams have their songs and other teams shouldn't rip 'em off anyway - it's a shame we don't have one for the Reds...

    I know...

    But I meant a full length, sort of song. Y'know, like Celtic sing Athenry, West Ham have got Blowing Bubbles, that sort of thing...
