HIT THE CHANNEL Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 As an aside, me and my mates were chatting about what our favourite Rovers songs (songs we sing anyway) are. A consensus formed around Geordie Munro but quite a lot of love for 'We're not orange, we're not green'. What about everyone else? Also, I was trying to remember a song about whiskey and the rovers boys being in town but haven't heard it in a while, can anyone enlighten me to all the lyrics!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversMad Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 In Dublin fair city, where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet molly malone, As she wheeled her wheelbarrow, through streets long and narrow, singing.....clap clap etc.... *f**k the booooooooooo'ers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That's the Irish version... not when I sang it as a 15 yr old 35 yrs ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversMad Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We were taking a photo at the Molly Malone statue, with a Rovers scarf on her, when some old irish guy came to me and said "do you realise you're taking a photo of prostitute?" I said "yeah but we're only taking a photo, you guys built her a statue!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the same. Geordie Munro is far and away the best Rovers song anyhow. It's the only one we have which is unique. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only one we have which is unique. Uniquely there is a poster on Fantalk who actually did go to Idaho to become a potato farmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's broad and narrow, anything else is incorrect. I assume Raith copied this from Hearts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's broad and narrow, anything else is incorrect. I assume Raith copied this from Hearts? this was another we used to sing 35 yrs ago.
