songs from the 60,s

Arthur our regular driver

[Bentley Bullet]

I remember back in the 60's, my brother and I were standing in front of the old cow shed stand at the town end. Suddenly, about half an hour before kick-off, the crowd around us started singing, so we sang along with them.

I'll give you an R,R,R
I'll give you an O,O,O
I'll give you a V,V,V
I'll give you an E,E,E
I'll give you a R,R,R
I'll give you an S,S,S
And what you got?
..... SHIT

It was bloody Darlington hooligans who had arrived before the home hooligans!

Dead livid I was.

Dutch: 'I been searching for a heart of gold'. Good God above! Not heard that in decades. Al Heeley's parents front room, Pete, Spuggy,  Barney, Al, JohnMc and me. After the goodrush or what?? You must have been close to going to Aachen.

I still see Spuggy btw. His current paramour is a recently retired Deputy Governor of the Bank of England.

After the Goldrush Bob, from album of same name. Used to play that and Neil Young's Harvest album a lot at Uni, indeed just before I anagramatically joined the brain drain. Say hi to spuggy for me.

Edit: Just looked at 'backing' musicians on the Harvest album - James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby, Stills, Nash, London Symphony Orchestra ........ not a bad selection

“If I had the Wings of a Sparrow,if I had the Arsed of a Cow, I’d fly over Millmoor tomorrow and Sh&t on the Barstewards below!

The dirty old arse of a crow

[LincolnDonny]

I thought this might be good for a terrace song. To the tune of Manfred Mann's "The Mighty Quinn". The drummer could set the tempo on his bass drum, then sing the chorus......
"Come all let's shout, come all let's scream,
Cos' Donny Rovers are our mighty team" keep repeating.
Theres only 4 lines to each verse, so maybe somebody could come up with some Rovers related lyrics.

Four lines on repeat is plenty idler.
It is more likely to catch on.

If this is going to catch on they need to play the music just before kick off to get the crowd all joining in .maybe even the little sandwich brigade in the east stand ?

Mighty Quinn was a Rotherham song circa 1967 when Quinn was their captain after moving to them from Sheff Weds in the Tommy Docherty era.

They won a completion on the BBC with the best or most original  fan’s song for that season I think.

If it had still been going we would surely have won that award at Tranmere for ‘Where’s your Dadi gone’

Didn’t they nick that from Liverpool who sang about the mighty Emlyn.
