I know this is not traditional Irish, but when played on the theatre organ, it sure sounds like it. It also sounds like an old carousel tune or film score. Unfortunately, the movie is in Mono, presumably recorded with a laptop microphone. A Stereo movie would have brought the listener the full majesty of the "king of instruments."

Oh the cockerel crows, the whistle blows, and now we're in the game

It's up to you, the Lilywhites, to live up to your name

Oh there's other teams from other towns and some are great and small

The famous Tottenham Hotspur are the greatest of them all

McCravat, I seen Danny Blanchflower lead the Spurs out to this old rouser, that is when the Spurs were a team.

[MrCravat]

Never been to Spurs but was lucky to see that great team of the 60s play with a line up of wonderful players like..Greaves,Gilzean,Danny Blanchflower,Big dave Mackay and bill brown in goal...ABSOLUTE CLASS

While many now consider Spurs to be with jewish links this fine tune was something I remember many spurs fans telling me and I have seen footage of the running out to it on F/Ball focus

Not traditional Irish, a song made famous by Bing Crosby and was the signature tune of English football team Tottenham Hotspur.

[MrCravat]

It was indeed in the 50s and 60s I read that the Spurs ran out to it.

GREAT STUFF this playing

[Phantomsbreath]

Are you KIDDING? There are some awesome parties you can sing this at

[MrCravat]

I was actually Phantom.. My Uk type humour-hence the "good comment" posted :-)

This is a great playing though and unusual..and whether sang or just in the music form is great.

Regards

[Phantomsbreath]

Yeah. Agreed. Though I'm tempted to say that I wear a suit of green, and have shamrocks...

[Phantomsbreath]

Bumping my own post here, but I am part swede. Though I have yet to be good on the "big bass drum"
