1st song you sang at the Turf

[Bazer1882]

From the 60's
Iy yi yi iy
Blacklaw is better than Yashin
McIlroys better than Eusabio
And United are in for a thrasing

[Chester Perry]

Burnley - Amazing Grace version early 80's

[Steve1956]

ACAB I think...

[ArthurShelby]

Full of tits, fanny & Clarets ….

[Tricky Trevor]

We’ve got Willie,Willie,Willie, Willie Morgan on the wing, on the wing

[Targetman]

Whenever you're sad
Whenever you're blue
Whenever the Clarets are playing.........

[Vino blanco]

I remember standing on the wooden cricket field terraces before singing really started and I do remember singing the Aye Aye Aye song, but I definitey sang:
Aye, aye, aye aye
Thomson is better than Yashin
Harris is better than Eusebio
So Blackburn are in for a thrashing (the name of the team would change dependant on whom we were playing).
I'm not saying the other version with McIlroy and Blacklaw didn't exist, but I certainly don't recall it.
Before these times, the first time I heard a song being sung in unison was when we played the Rovers. When the somewhat portly Rovers' goalie Harry Leyland (name?) approached the goal at the beginning of the match, the crowd started singing "Roll out the barrel" pointing at poor old Harry. I suppose it's more respectful than "You fat *******".

Can't remember any from my earliest memories ...

But would probably say "Jimmy Mullens Claret and Blue Army" from the early 90's

My Stepson and his 1st wife (she was German) came on with us and their 2 German Friends ovrr for a Holiday (Stefan and his GF Shalke fans) we were playing Hull City in the 95 season if memory serves and Tanya thought we sang "Carrot and Poo" army.

Her German Friend was in bits laughing as Tanya was translating some of the stuff we were saying about the Ref etc.

Went to watch a couple of Shalke04 games at that time whilst on holiday in Germany with Stefan (still got the 2 pennants he sent me) hanging in my office upstairs.

[Vintage Claret]

Probably the one about all the lads and lasses coming down the Brunshaw Road with smiles upon their faces.

(They wouldn't be smiling now with all them flipping roadworks mind)

[DukeOfBar]

remembering the old longside days from 70's/80's - whenever we got a corner, the single chant of 'Burnley' just getting louder used to make then hair stand up on the back of your neck (well it would if I had any then, I was but a youngster!)

[clansman]

Same as Bazer in first post. Blacklaw is better than Yashin.
As for the corner chant of Burnley we used to do it all the time in the seventies .Its a shame its died out. When Millwall do it it always sounds good.

[clansman]

I used to like the 60's version of paddy mgintys goat !

Oh his name is Gordan Harris he's the leader of our team
the greatest team, that, the world has ever seen
Their name is Burnley FC and they play in Claret and Blue
and when we win the league this year we'll sing this song to you......
Na na na naa, na na na nah nah....etc

Use to be a great song based on the US marine Corp song

Might be slightly different versions but basically,

From the banks of the river Calder to the shores of Tripoli
We will fight fight fight for Burnley till we we the football league
To hell with Man Utd , to hell with Liverpool
We will fight fight fight for Burnley till we win the football league!!

[Hurstwood_Claret]

we’re all going on a European tour

Those were the days

[Vegas Claret]

ooooooooooohhhhh **** **** aaaahhhhh

[Royboyclaret]

we’re all going on a European tour

Those were the days

55 years since we paid a visit to Napoli and came home after a memorable performance and result.

Liverpool visit Napoli tonight.

[Claret]

Where was goalie when the ball was in the net, where was the goalie when the ball was in the net...etc...
..He was hanging out his washing on the Siegfried Line.

The tune for the first one is McNamara's Band I think.

[Claretmisterg]

From the banks of Leeds and Liverpool
To the shores of Sicily
There is a team called Burn-er-ley
A greater team there’ll never be

[Claretmisterg]

Or maybe it was
We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too
We hate Man United
But Burnley we love you

Both the above from the mid 60s

[Jamesy]

Mine went something like oh Ralphy Ralphy, Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Coates.
Circa 1967.

[Jamesy]

For the slightly younger ex Longsiders amongst us their first song might have been “your going home in a f@cking ambulance”.
They were rough times in the early 70’s.

[HeatonMoorClaret]

The best one for me was when playing liverpoll at the turf and they had just been beaten by ajax
when its spring again we'll bring again ajax from amsterdam

[NoFixedAbode_Claret]

The above are all before my time really

Not a chant - but as a boy, I do recall a constant one man diatribe lasting many seasons to all of our number 9s shouting 'Come back Paul Fletcher - all is forgiven'

I never saw Fletch play but it left me in awe of the man. And made me wonder what he had done wrong exactly

[Claretmisterg]

Mine went something like oh Ralphy Ralphy, Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Ralphy Coates.
Circa 1967.

There was an advert for eggs with the jingle
‘E for B and be your best’ ‘E for B’ being eggs for breakfast

When Man Utd came to the turf they were singing
‘E for B and Georgie Best’

It amused me when we replied
‘E for B and Ralphy Coates’

[IanMcL]

Me too.

[gsyclaret]

One I used to enjoy was the chant for george best
As he wheeled his wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow crying oo oo jamrags stuff for your handbags , come on burnley

[andyh]

Early 70s;

Come tiptoe, through the Longside
With your boots on
Get your head kicked in
Come tiptoe through the Longside with me.

[Dazzler]

Not at all sure but it could well have been...
Willie Morgan on the wing
or
Running down the brunshaw road
or even
Bring on the dustbin

[A.Claret.Fan]

[4:20]

When we used to shout "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnley" when taking a corner. I hadn't a clue what was being shouted but it seemed fun to join in so I just went "Arrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhh"

WRT Yashin…. That’s the song I recall too,

[Burnley Ace]

Whose the ******* in the black.

[gandhisflipflop]

Teasdale out

[dougcollins]

Or maybe it was
We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too
We hate Man United
But Burnley we love you

Both the above from the mid 60s

Definitely this. The other teams used to be interchangeable, but everybody hated Nottingham Forest.

[Carwin261]

Come to Ewood,Come to Ewood it’s a place of misery,
There’s a sign above the turnstile advertising VD,
also
If I had the wings of an angel ,the dirty black arse of a crow
I’d fly over Ewood tomorrow,& **** on the bastards below.

[Carwin261]

To Bobby Moore “ You can stick your Brylcreem up your arse”

[HeatonMoorClaret]

The Bobby Moore song was

"You can stick your Vitalis up your arse"

[strayclaret]

You’re going home like Sandy Richardson
Terrible I know, but it still makes me smile

[Quicknick]

Singing Morgan Lochead Irvine Harris Coates.

[Quicknick]

The Bobby Moore song was

"You can stick your Vitalis up your arse"

And then after the '70 World Cup: thief, thief, thief!

Burnley boys
Burnley boys
Laced up boots and corduroys

They call us the Turf Moor
Boot boys

Late 70's.... to the tune of Sham 69's "Hersham Boys" .

[A.Claret.Fan]

There's a notice on the doorstep
saying "welcome unto thee".
It's a note from Bl@ckburn Rovers
saying "we're going to Wembly".

Don't believe 'em, don't believe 'em
for it's a a pack a lies.

If it weren't for B@stard Rovers
this would be a paradise...

Clap

Not a chant, just the NHS looking through the STD records of the town.
