Guest Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Although I am totally reluctant to give up the popular version (and will continue to sing it at private venues), but can't see it being entertained by anyone in this easily offended world (not even our Club), I agree we have to put alternatives out there to get the song back on the song sheet at Ibrox and at away venues.Although sanitised this version removes the "offending words" and replaces them with a more Club only anthem which may help to at least bring our tune back into our song repertoire.As a few others have mentioned, the start of this war cry is the important part, due to the noise factor, perhaps they should only be kept and the song changed completely, in this case.My favourite is the mention of "Silverware", but only being up to our "knees" in it seems to me to be below the amount of silverware we actually have won, so used head hair instead, being at a higher part of the anatomy than knee level. I can understand that hair may be classed as being insensitive to all the follicley challenged of our support, but as hair still grows at eyebrow level this should not be seen to be elitist in any way ..... Hullo ... Hullo, We are The Rangers Team,Hullo ... Hullo,The Best you've ever seen,We're up to our hair in Silverware,And going for 55, (change as honours increase)For we are The Glasgow Rangers Team. mon over to my thread about the new signings ur the type the thread needs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB 599 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well the original lyrics to Marching Through Georgia which is the tune the song is based on are thusBring the good old bugle, boys, we'll sing another songSing it with a spirit that will start the world alongSing it as we used to sing it, 50,000 strongWhile we were marching through Georgia.ChorusHurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the seaWhile we were marching through Georgia.Verse 2How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful soundHow the turkeys gobbled which our commissary foundHow the sweet potatoes even started from the groundWhile we were marching through Georgia.Verse 3Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,While we were marching through Georgia.Verse 4"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!"So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boastHad they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the HostWhile we were marching through Georgia.Verse 5So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vainWhile we were marching through Georgia.Now we are never going to get our fans to do a 5 verse song and using the term darkies is bang out of order even if there seems to be a Scottish connection for using that term for people of African decent(Used commonly at least till I left for Canada in 1972),, So changing a few words for a 3 verse songI would use.. Bring the good old flute, boys, we'll sing another songSing it with a spirit that will start the stadium alongSing it in the voice we used to sing it, 50,000 strongWhile we were marching through Scotia. Hullo Hullo we are the Rangers BoysHullo Hullo we keep the Blue Flag Flying HighWe'll sing the chorus from Gretna to the North SeaWhile we are marching through Scotia How the scum fled when they heard the soundComing from every corner of our groundit is the most inTIMidating SoundWhile we are marching through Scotia Hullo Hullo we are the Rangers BoysHullo Hullo You will know us by our NoiseWe'll sing the chorus from Gretna to the North SeaWhile we are marching through Scotia PS my 1690 post makes me now officially a bigot, next in line 1872 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Generally accepted by whom (our haters?) because I for one have never taken Fenian to mean Roman Catholic and I haven't met any other Bear who thinks otherwise.This is what needs met head on.It's not what you or I think the word 'fenian' means though, it's what the law thinks it means.The law of this land has stated that using the word Fenian is sectarian.I've always thought it to be the pira supporting bheasts, when I've sung TBB.

Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just shows you how things change with time. 5 or 6 year ago the majority would have said fuck that if someone suggested changing the words. But a few years later and a good kicking from the SFA and scottish football as a whole and people become complacent and start toeing the line that our enemies have drawn Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
