I'll sing about a wee toon that stands upon the Clyde,
It is the toon whaur I was born, it fills my heart with pride.
My mither often telt me as she crooned me on her knee,
That Greenock took its name frae the Green Oak Tree.

Here's to the Green Oak that grew down at the square;
Here's to its roots that are still slumbering there;
Here's to my townsmen whaure're they may be;
I'm proud that I'm a branch o' the Green Oak Tree.

May Greenock like the Green Oak Tree still flourish 'neath the sun,
Her trade and commerce still increase for a thousands years to come.
And may each son o' Greenock as he battles thro' life's storm,
Be honest, true, and ne'er disgrace the toon whaur he was born.

Noo Greenock's no' a bonny toon I've heard some folk complain,
And ithers say when they go there, they nothing see but rain!
But let them say whate'er they may, wi' them I'll no agree,
For aye the name o' Greenock toon shall still be dear to me.

Cheers for that. Didn’t realise it was all about the toon. Thought it was just a daft made up song us football supporters come up with.

Oh Greenocks naw a bonny toon

You'll here some folks complain,

For when you come to Greenock

Sure there's nothing else but rain.

 

But let them say, what e'er they may

I'm sure you'll all agree

That I'm proud to say I'm a branch of the Green Oak tree.

Thanks for that. Is there more verses?  Now you mention green oak tree the words “green oak tree is a very fine tree”?

maybe getting confused as grey cells are fading.

is it still sung today?

[Pars vs Morton - Sat 6th Nov]

Racking my brain from distant days of the 80’s. What was the song sung by Morton about a tree? Remember venturing into the supporters club and it was getting laldy.

Pat Bonner couldn’t pick out Scotland on a map of Scotland. He could probably tell you the location of every pot hole on London Road though. 

If you listen to Pat on Sportsound he doesn’t even know the players in the premier unless they have a Ceptic connection.

Like Chris Kamara on Sky Sports only not as funny and thick as mince.
