Favourite Hibs song

[Seany HFC 7-0]

We have a few anyone got one in particular they enjoy belting out? Even personal ones that are made up. One that springs to mind recently was at the celtic game. "Gary hows the wife! Gary! Gary! Hows the wife!" :hilarious

[cwilliamson85]

"There is a bonny footba team at Easter Road they play" always gets my toe taping

[superfurryhibby]

A rendition of "Sunshine on Leith" hits the spot after a win against the Heart's, but "Glory, Glory to the Hibees" is my all time favourite

I always liked singing "The Merry Ploughboy" which was a favourite of mine in the seventies, usually reserved for games against the Currant Buns. Those games had a lot of tensions and much anti-orange sentiment was in evidence, with songs like Die, Die ya Hun (to the tune of Mary Hopkin's "Those were the Days") etc.. to the fore.

I remember liking the Colin Stein song (the infancy of my going to games era) but cannae really recall the words, other than it was about running somewhere and calling for Colin Stein, Colin Stein (does anyone know the song?).

Singing eh, mostly a thing of the past at the games. A shame that many younger fans will never know how awesome an atmosphere could be created at the big games at ER before the introduction of all seated stadia. The terracing sang loads, as did the North Stand and standing enclosure below it. Some noise!

[blackpoolhibs]

I was walking down gorgie swingin ma chain,
along came a hearts fan and asked me ma name,
a kicked him in the balls and a kicked him in the head,
and now that hearts fan is dead

with a nananannanana nananananananana nananannanana we are the mental hibees.

Thats my favorite, although we dont here it a lot these days.:devil:

[California-Hibs]

Cant beat a good redition of Hail Hail when we all stand up and belt it out. Espeically when the hands point and the opposition fans ''AND IF, YOU KNOW, YOUR HISTORY'' :thumbsup:

Sunshine on Leith one of my favourites and I would love to see the Merry Ploughboy/Off to Dublin in the Green back at ER (over 20 years since I have heard it though). Wrap the Green Flag Round Me (originally an American Civil War song) is also one that would be good to have back at ER.

Die, Die you Hun is certainly a song that we can do with out, sadly it still surfaces very occasionally. Cannot help thinking same people who sung it were those who became hyper-sensitive at OF/Hearts singing songs like the Sash that far less offensive lyrics!

[Hainan Hibs]

Am I the only one who enjoys Hibs Heros? :greengrin

Fantastic song:thumbsup: And I would love to see 10,000 Hibees try to hit the extremly high note at the same time:greengrin


My favourite would be our chants of "We are the people" just for the way it really really really annoys the Huns:greengrin

I agree that the sentiments of that song are unpleasant, my mitigation is that I was a laddie at the time and have fortunately grown up (a wee bit) since.

Regarding "The Sash", I'm sure there are many who find the closing sentiments of FTP (as embellished by Rangers fans) quite offensive as well? I also reckon that those (ie; the majority of the terracing) who belted out "The Merry Ploughboy" were also very likely to give it laldy with Die, Die ya Hun and others of that ilk (The Mountbatten-No Queen of Scotland song or King Billy had an Army......etc).

I cannae believe there are those who like the "Hibs Heroes" song of the nineties. An abomination that no sane fan would even attempt to sing.

My favourite would be our chants of "We are the people" just for the way it really really really confuses the Huns:greengrin

Fixed it for you.

To Charlie Adam...

"Charlie, show us your teeth! Charlie, Charlie, show us your teeth!"

Still makes me giggle now!

[Dr Jimmy]

Still has to be "booked for being ugly" to Steve Fulton because of the truth and integrity of the lyrics.

We all dream of a team of Ivan Sproull's! :thumbsup:

I like the South Morroco one for some reason :agree:

[manx hibee]

ones called ronald ones called frank
one missus penalties
the other ones a W**k

this woz funny after beating Rankers in the cup!:scarf::scarf:

[BS44]

Cheer up, cheer up, the boys will see you through
The boys that beat the Celtic and the Glasgow Rangers too.
Cheer up, cheer up, the boys will see you right
The boys that wear the colours the colours green and white.

Oh i don't know why the Rangers sing that they always hated green
For green's the finest colour that the world has ever seen.


And


The hills are alive with the sound of John Greig's a w@****.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Away up in gorgie he creeps round the parks,
To look for school children that are oot after dark,
He tempt them with mars bars, smarties and twix,
But you better watch out -cause it's Graeme Rix!!!

:devil::devil::devil::devil:

[King Paddy]

Green submarine comes to mind in the mid sixties. Remember Pat Quinn scoring a hatrick at tynie and the the above song created a great atmosphere among the hibs support. The ploughboy song was very emotive in the days of yore but would we want it back. One thing i would like to say is why don't we sing like in the good old day's?.

[iwasthere1972]

For the great Pat Quinn

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Favourite hibs "record" and great video. The lyrics mean so much and nearly brings a tear to my eye.

My second favourite hibs chant has to be the "so ****ing ugly" towards stevie fulton. It was more obvious than the other one...he heard it, looked round and didn't really know what to make of it.

The favourite has to be the "we are the people" at ibrox. The numpties trying to invade the pitch made my day! The protests towards mcliesh outisde the ground as we were leaving was the icing on the cake.

who do you think you are kiddin Mr Jefferies.....if you think your number one..!!! :smug:

I went to a party last Saturday night
Rangers were there and they asked for a fight
I pulled out a razor quick as a flash
and shouted hibs casuals, hibs casuals ya bas

[marti1875]

Does anyone remember the song that was (obviously) about that certain wee derby game at swiney 0-7? :greengrin
It was something like Bye, bye, Jam Tarts:

"Eddie Turnbull thought he was in heaven,
when Alan Gordon knocked in number seven"

I remember when i stayed on Easter road going to the Golf tavern many, many years ago, just round the corner onto duke street and everyone singing it there but can't remember all the words (maybe that verse i've gave is a bit wrong) but it was something along those lines and loved it as there was a verse for every goal!! A couple of guys singing a verse and everyone else joining in the chorus with the "bye bye jam tarts" part......or have i been down here too long and imagined this song as i've never really ever heard anyone else singing it or mentioning it??...

Oh, good win today, not a clue what the performance was like but 3 nil sounds good to me!! :thumbsup:

:faf:...Aye, that's the one...and yes, that's an absolute awful version but i'll let you off as it was doing my heid in as to the name of the original song!
I think our Hibs version's way better than that one and the words are way better too!:thumbsup:...cheers.

[Hibs07p]

If I had the @rse of an eagle,
and I the wings of a crow,
I'd fly over Tynecastle Park
and *****e on the *******s below, below,
*****e on, *****e on,
*****e on the *******s below, below.

[1875godsgift]

Oh we're the lads ye should a seen us comin
We're only here to drink yir beer an dirty bits an dirty bits
All the lads n lassies smiles upon their faces
Runnin down the ALBION ROAD
To see the Turnbull's aces

Think i was about 6 when my uncle taught us it hence the dirty bits n dirty bits!

[HibeeUnderwood]

Hibs Heroes is my favourite song :agree:

"Are you Woolworths in disguise?" to the yams is one of my favourite chants :greengrin
