Uniquely Boro Songs

I’ give you…. (Circa mid 70’s)

I went out one day with a big piece of lead
I hit an old lady right over the head
A copper came to me and asked my my name
I gave him the answer with a bicycle chain
The judge said sit down boy and dry up your tears
Your going to borstal for a term of 3 years
Now 3 years in borstal is a mighty long time
So kiss me my true love and say you’ll be mine

There's bars on the windows
And bars on the doors
With concrete ceilings
And contrete floors

If I were the jailer
And the jailer was me
I'd wake up tomorrow
And set myself free

But I'm not the jailer
And the jailer's not me
?

@1finny @Johnny Vincents Motorbike @Nosmo-King

Any of you guys remember how it finishes?

I must have been in the minority in the Holgate back then.

I'd never been anywhere near borstal, other than my man being a teacher at Farndale Road remand home.

Kudos for your musical theory knowledge.

Amazing Grace, is in the simplest and most basic musical scale the C Major.

Represented by the white keys on a piano, ie, Doh-Ray-Me-Far-So-La-Tee-Doh.

The 'Doe's a deer' song in the Sound of Music is in the sound of music is in the same key (C Maj) and is a teaching aid for learning the first scale.

I could be talking out my ars€ about Amazing Grace as I'm competition tone deaf and don't have a joanna in front of me 😂

There was a stock response from oppo fans (I think) to a song that spelled out the name of a team, I don't think it was this song though.

It was:

What's that spell
Shoite
What's that spell
Shoite
What's that spell
Shoite, Shoite, Shoite, Shoite to fade out.

Did we sing it as a response to ourselves after an "all give us an L" etc for the Dirties?

WSO sung by us for years and very rarely, only in unique situations. We had some of the French songs way before Leeds and Man utd and their love in with Cantona, but usually sung by the Frontline and had Hooli twist rather than players twist, I remember definitely when we got knocked of the FaCup by PNE in 1987 that Le Marseille was booming out of the end of the South Terrace as well as the French Nursey Rhyme Frere Jacques where the lyrics were changed to English and the only words I could understand where ' we will knack you'

A lot of my generation sang this song in defiance at only getting to the 6th round of the FA Cup yet again, which for years seemed to be as far as we could ever get.

There's nothing more emotional then outsinging the victors at the end of a game with a lump in the throat and a tear in the eye.

I tried to Strike up a chorus of 'We Have Overcome, today" at the Millennium Stadium.

It fell on deaf ears, the younger generations never' got it'.

The 3 points chant at Wembley was bloody emotional though, even if I was sat at home watching it
 
Whilst searching unsuccessfully for footage of the 3 points chant at Wembley, I came across the following video.

I reckon two of these songs were started by Boro fans.

'Cameron, where ever you may be' was over a Chelsea tune but adapted for Save Our Steel.

Other teams, sing the 'Ain't nobody, like (NSue) song now, but I heard it first at the Boro before other teams adopted it.

Still stuck in bed, waiting for a back op, but I'll be horizontally yagging it up tonight and having my own Kareoke... 🎶

No Coq- you are right- Amazing Grace it is. I remember it being in the charts in the early 70's and soon after was being sung by crowds around the country

We certainly started off 'Boot (or 10 high) wrapped round your head' , as it was us.

Bl........ock 2: The Bob End Crew (1968-1983ish)

Was definately in the Holgate by the early 70's
