Arab Songbook: Hamish The Goalie…
Hamish The Goalie
(By Michael Marra)
“Up at Tannadice,”
“Framed in woodwork, cool as ice,””Keeping out the wolves in his particular way,”
“With a smile and a wave,”
“A miraculous save, they say,”
“Out runs Hamish and the ball’s in Invergowrie Bay.”
“Up at Tannadice,”
“As they gently terrorise,”
“Called the sentry “Oh Hamish, give us a song”,”
“Raising the voices as high as the bridge is long,”
“Nasser said hello and did you miss him when his voice was gone.”
“I remember that time it was an evening game,”
“A European tie in the howling rain,”
“Gus Foy pointed at the side of the goal,”
“And said, there’s Grace Kelly by Taylor Brothers Coal,”
“…at Tannadice.”
“Up at Tannadice,”
“Watching as the fortunes rise,”
“Smiling when he hears, ah it’s only a game,”
“Win, lose or draw, you’ll get home to your bed just the same,”
“But Hamish stokes young mens’ dreams into a burning flame,”
“Hamish stokes young mens’ dreams into a burning flame.”
