[Verse]
He sailed for dear all Glasgow,
Charlie Tully was his name,
He was born an breed in Belfast Town,
And he played this football game.
He signed for Glasgow Celtic,
He filled our hearts with joy,
A credit to old Ireland,
Was Celtic's famous boy.
[Chorus]
A household name he soon became,
To every football fan,
His skill and fame shone bright as day,
Throughout this football land.
But most of all we still recall,
That laughter was his ploy,
A credit to old Ireland,
Was Celtic's famous boy.
[Verse]
Although he's gone, his fame lives on,
To all out Parkhead way,
We hear the cheering echoes from,
The past each Saturday.
As thousand throng, we cheered him on,
His genius to employ,
A credit to old Ireland,
Was Celtic's famous boy.
[Chorus]
A household name he soon became,
To every football fan,
His skill and fame shone bright as day,
Throughout this football land.
But most of all we still recall,
That laughter was his ploy,
A credit to old Ireland,
Was Celtic's famous boy.
[Outro]
A credit to old Ireland,
Was Celtic's famous boy.
