On the Royston Road we sang,
Celebrated through the night,
And with the spirit of Mick McLaughlin
We toasted Celtic’s win up at Tannadice.
The old Garngad praised the name of Celtic
And of every man who wore the green,
For the news had came through from Pittodrie
That the Rangers had lost to Aberdeen.
By the steps of Saint Roch’s chapel
The spirits of Mick McLaughlin and Jimmy McGrory
Watched with joy at how the Glasgow Irish
Reveled in Celtic’s championship victory.
The garden of God, Ireland’s 33rd county,
Drank dry every Garngad pub,
And in harmony the Glasgow Irish sang
Of Brother Walfrid’s, Celtic Football Club
