ibrox disaster - matt mcginn (sct) lyrics

[verse 1]
new year bells had been ringing
all of scotland was singing
the old year had died
and the new had been born
as the news of disaster
from ibrox came spreading
the news that would cause
a whole nation to mourn

[verse 2]
two great goals had been scored
in the last dying moments
jimmy johnstone for celtic
for rangers’ young stein
their supporters all cheered them
with voices of thunder
unknowing what waited on staircase thirteen

[verse 3]
sixty*six people died
some in flower of their manhood
when the fences gave way
and the barriers bent
seasoned glasgow policemen their faces all tearstained
with brave efforts, endeavoured far worse to prevent
[verse 4]
all of glasgow enjoined
for the first time in history
in the glasgow cathedrals, no billy’s, no dan’s
but the old firm united to pray for their victims
of a tragedy set in the memory of man
