Alex Young question

2 Comments: First | Last

I was asked by Tabacula for the words to Alex Young's song as they are finishing off a documentary about him.

Now I only part know this song to the Scottish Soldier. Does anyone know the rest of it?

There was a forward a Scottish forward
His name was Alex Young He played for Everton (or this line might be 'He came from far away
To see the Everton play'?)
There was none bolder With deep broad shoulder
His name was Alex Young He played for Everton
He scored a hat-trick for Harry Catterick............

I think it it then goes on to mention St John from Motherwell?

Also does anyone know our versions of the Green Grass of home, The Holy Ground once more, or The Wild Colonial Boy?

Paul, I know there's a Dixie Dean play on at the moment, not sure if that's done by the same company though.

I seem to remember hearing there were only two people in it as well.
