Derek Warfield - The Flag That Flies on High lyrics



In Glasgow, back in '88
poor children needed fed
and some big-hearted Irish men
who lived around Parkhead
decided in their charity to silence
hunger's cry, so they started
Celtic Football Club and raised
the flag on high

and they raised the flag on high x2
(they started Celtic football club)
and raised the flag on high

Then bigots who did hate their race
and most of all their creed
used their power to hinder them
in spite of childrens need
but Celtic's spirit - then as now
despite each pressman's lie
they rose above all obstacles
and kept their flag on high

They kept their flag on high
and they kept their flag on high
they rose above all obstacles
and kept their flag on high

They carried on from strength to strength
from fame to greater fame
now all who've heard of football
know the Glasgow Celtic name

But still the same old bigotry will let
no chance go by to blacken this great football
name and the flag that flies on high

To blacken this great football name
and the flag that flies on high x2

When in 1953
the ruling SFA
they said that Celtic football club
must take their flag away
But Kelly and his Celtic men said
they would rather die
than to disgrace their forefathers
and the flag that flies on high

and the flag that flies on high x2
than to disgrace their forefathers
and the flag that flies on high

And still the Irish tricolour
it waves o'er Paradise
where proudly it's admired and loved
by Irish exile's eyes

God grant the like Bob Kelly
all attacks we will defy
from the enemies of Celtic
and the flag that flies on high

and the flag that flies on high x2
from the enemies of Celtic
and the flag that flies on high

In Glasgow, back in '88
poor children needed fed
and some big-hearted Irish men
who lived around Parkhead
decided in their charity to silence
hunger's cry, so they started
Celtic Football Club and raised
the flag on high

and they raised the flag on high x2
(they started Celtic football club)
and raised the flag on high

and they raised the flag on high x2
(they started Celtic football club)
and raised the flag on high
