Goodbye to the Belfast Boy
Words & Music by Cracked Flag. Copyright (c) 2004. All rights reserved. From the Belfast streets came a gangling lad not much but skin and bone But Anne and Dickie's eldest son made the beautiful game his own George had talent in spades, unbelievable skill and a genuine lion's heart With a passion for the game and how aptly named he was the master of his art Now my my my all the crowds form the Kop to the Reebok singing bye bye bye - sweet Georgie boy bye bye My my my from the Stretford End to the great Tune Army Bye bye bye - goodbye to the Belfast boy Not much impressed by the best of the rest George laid waste to them all Defences cracked and crumbled with El Beatle on the ball To stop him they must break him but GB won't go down Soon the ball's in the net and it's Harris and Webb who are littering the ground Now my my my all the crowds form the Kop to the Reebok singing bye bye bye - sweet Georgie boy bye bye My my my from the Stretford End to the great Tune Army Bye bye bye - goodbye to the Belfast boy Now the brightest stars burn fastest only feint ones linger on And after ten years of sheer magic George's playing days were done And now he's gone forgive us older folk if we recall Not only was George Best he was the bestest of them all Now my my my all the crowds form the Kop to the Reebok singing bye bye bye - sweet Georgie boy bye bye My my my from the Stretford End to the great Tune Army Bye bye bye - goodbye to the Belfast boy George leaves our world a sadder place but the legend will live on He tore the beautiful game off the racing page and nailed it on page one Damn all those who demeaned you - I wish I could have been you I'm the better to have seen you - thanks for the memories Now my my my all the crowds form the Kop to the Reebok singing bye bye bye - sweet Georgie boy bye bye My my my from the Stretford End to the great Tune Army Bye bye bye - goodbye to the Belfast boy ________ Oshawa Truck Assembly Last edited by Tat; 23rd February 2011 at 12:47. |
