Bobby Murdoch

A soft day in springtime, a lark in the morning
the 15th of May, news I switched on
the radio told me, of my boyhood hero
he told me that Bobby to heaven had gone.

Bold Bobby Murdoch the darling of Parkhead
Bold Bobby Murdoch died with a smile
he was the heart of the great Lisbon Lions
to Bold Bobby Murdoch we say, Slan Go Foill.

The news traveled over, a stunned Scottish people
gone was the man who loved Celtic so well
a family man both loving and caring
and all of your friends bid a fond farewell.

Bold Bobby Murdoch the darling of Parkhead
Bold Bobby Murdoch died with a smile
he was the heart of the great Lisbon Lions
to Bold Bobby Murdoch we say, Slan Go Foill.

So goodbye to Ronnie, to Jim and to Tommy
to Billy and John I must close my eyes
farewell to Jinky, to Willie and Stevie
to Bertie and Bobby in dear paradise.

Bold Bobby Murdoch the darling of Parkhead
Bold Bobby Murdoch died with a smile
he was the heart of the great Lisbon Lions
to Bold Bobby Murdoch we say, Slan Go Foill.
