Chanting Z-cars

[Ian Snodin]

At some point after Rooney netting the equalizer there was a great moment in the stands with z-cars chanted by our fans with passion ! I think it was really awesome and should be happening more , it builds up really great atmosphere ! COYB !

A bit off thread but
Lovren's pulling,,, Calvert Lewin
Rooney's scoring from the spot
Is the season for Jurgen Klopp moaning
Merry Christmas Liverpool

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Johnny Todd, he took a notion
For to cross the ocean wide
And he's left his own true love behind him
Walking by the Liverpool tide

For a week, she wept with sorrow
Tore her hair and wrung her hands
Till she met another handsome sailor
Walking by the Liverpool sands

Fair young maid are you a weeping
For your Johnny gone to sea
If you'll wed with me tomorrow
I will kind and constant be

I will buy you sheets and blankets
I'll buy you a wedding ring
You shall have a silver cradle
For to rock the baby in

Johnny Todd came home from sailing
Sailing on the ocean wide
And he's found his fair and false one
Was another sailor's bride

All young men who go a sailing
For to fight the foreign foe
Do not leave your own true love like johnny
Marry her before you go

Great tune

...big mates of Bob Dylan those guys. Just saying.

Johnny Todd he took a notion.

I’ll have to do some Everton lyrics to that one day.

..Dylan certainly trumps Gerry Marsden.

Beat me too it thanks ! Always loved his version.
And @Eggs we’re you referring to the Clancy Brothers singing “ The hour that the Ship comes in” at Bob’s 30 th Anniversary Concert many years ago with its classic intro “ Herllo, oi bet you never taught you’d hear Dylan sung with an oirish accent”

..I saw an excellent Dylan documentary and the Clancy Brothers featured largely in it. I know they were a big influence on him (not sure if it was Greenwich Village where they all hung out in the early 60s).

 

[Big Neville Southall]

We had a couple of versions of it in the 60s.

It's a lovely song. Any particular reason why it was chosen for Z-cars?

Der, der, der etc simple yet traditional....no need for Norwegian style song sheets either

The tune is, as they say, Traditional, aka nobody knows who wrote it, or when.
Fritz Speigl did an arrangement of it fit the tv show theme
