    Raised On Celtic
    Celtic Minded
    It's from the Irish famine ships
    As the waves beat upon wooden decks,
    Our ancestors left old Ireland's shores
    To start a new life on the streets of Glasgow.

    It's from Brother Walfrid's charity
    To feed poor Catholic families,
    To create a Celtic identity
    To rid the evil hand of poverty.

    It's to the Brake Clubs of before
    Who travelled many a long road,
    Following the bhoys of green,
    Believing in Glasgow's Irish team.

    It's our culture and our faith
    Our proud Irish heritage
    That we sing of and rejoice
    At Parkhead, supporting the bhoys.

    It's our ancient Irish names
    The love of a football game,
    It was our father's right
    To support the green & white.

    It was from many a young lad
    From Coatbridge to the Garngad,
    To fulfill a longtime dream
    And wear the hoops of green.

    Of the heroes that we learn
    For both Celtic and Ireland
    As they both fought for the green
    Against the British Imperialistic machine.

    It's from the songs we learn and sing
    To the Celtic cross and Claddagh ring
    That we are Scottish born
    To Ireland's exiled sons.

    It's the love of our team
    The bhoys in the hoops of green
    For our faith, we proudly stand
    And hold in our heart, the harp of Ireland.
