Geoff, that's an epic. Homeric.

Well done, sir.

Time to get a choir together with pints in their hands, methinks.

Great stuff; lovely rhyming & how apt it is in sea shanty form.
A worthy rallying cry.

It should be sung at the last home game and the first game in the new stadium as a homage to our wonderful club!

Thank you.

I thought it was worth adding the verse that is in the original shanty to this thread:

And now we've arrived in the Bramley-Moore Dock,
And all them flash judies on the pierhead do flock.
The barrel's run dry and our five quid advance,
And I guess it's high time for to git up and dance.

Very male orientated I know as shanty's are but the supporters of the women's team could add in:
We liverpool judies have got them in tow

Sorry, that should be Everton Judies.

Howard thank you for your kind comments, they are greatly appreciated
Ron when Bramley Moore was chosen as the site for our new home that was the verse that started me off.
I will leave the Everton Judie's version to you. If the ladies team move to Goodison imagine it being sung there.

Ten out of ten, Geoff. I've just today written new words to The Leaving of Liverpool, called it The Leaving of Goodison.

I put it up for inclusion on ToffeeWeb but it's disappeared somewhere. But your efforts are excellent, well done you.

Thanks Paul, I will have a look for yours.

I submitted this as a post and the following day it was moved to an article when title added by ToffeeWeb.

Geoff (10),

Lovely lyrics to a great tune. Chris Williams would appreciate this very much I believe.

I hope you are okay, Chris. I haven't heard from you for a while and I always looked forward to your posts.
