  • Lord of the Wing

    He was Born in Viewpark 1944
    The Celts were soon knocking upon his door
    He became the one the fans adore
    He had every defender on the floor

    and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul

    He came from School with his flame red hair
    A Celt through and through with out a care
    When he was on the ball the fans would stare
    At his skill and cheek and his natural flare

    and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul

    (Chorus)
    I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone on the wing
    Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone on the ball, in our hearts he was best of all
    I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone lord of the wing
    Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone we’ll not forget, hey Jimmy will we see your likes again.

    His first game was March 1963
    When he played his first game for his favourite team
    He was proud to wear the hoops of green
    He was the greatest Celt there’s ever been

    and he love the Celtic with all my heart and soul

    chorus

    He drove Jock mad with banter and crack,
    He never would defend always attack
    He would beat his man he had the knack
    Bravery was an actual fact

    and he I love the Celtic with all my heart and soul

    chorus
