From the recording Songs of Sligo
It is my humble contribution in the forthcoming celebrations of the centennial anniversary of the Sligo Rovers Club - the pride and joy of my town. I hope you will enjoy it and join in for the applause to the great lads and girls out there.
Lyrics
In the heart of Sligo where the rivers flow,
The pride of our town, everyone will know.
One hundred years strong, through thick and thin,
With the spirit of champions, we’re ready to win.
From the stand we will sing, with our hearts on display,
For the Bit O'Red warriors, come what may.
Sligo Rovers, our pride and joy,
Kickin' up dust, oh, every girl and boy.
Go and get them, lads and girls so bright,
Happy centennial, let’s light up the night!
With a ball at your feet, and the crowd in a roar,
Through the highs and the lows, we keep wanting more.
From the Showgrounds echoes, we’ll never forget,
Every triumph and battle, our hearts are set.
With each match played, we’ll stand side by side,
Our colours will wave, with hope as our guide.
[Chorus]
Sligo Rovers, our pride and joy,
Kickin' up dust, oh, every girl and boy.
Go and get them, lads and girls so bright,
Happy centennial, let’s light up the night!
Through the cheers and the chants, our voices unite,
Forever in motion, our spirits take flight.
One hundred years of glory, our dreams are alive,
In the heart of Sligo, we will always revive.
So raise up your pints, let’s toast to the team,
To the heroes of Sligo, fulfilling our dream.
With a century behind, and the future so wide,
We’ll keep on believing, in Sligo we pride.
Sligo Rovers, our pride and joy,
Kickin' up dust, oh, every girl and boy.
Go and get them, lads and girls so bright,
Happy centennial, let’s light up the night!
So here’s to the Rovers, our legacy spun,
In every heartbeat, the battle is won.
From the heart of Sligo, we raise our voice high,
For the love of the game, we’re never shy.
Sligo Rovers, our pride and joy,
Forever and always, our love will not cloy.
