He was Born in Viewpark 1944
The Celts were soon knocking upon his door
He became the one the fans adore
He had ever defender on the floor
and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul
He came from School with his flame red hair
A Celt through and through with out a care
When he was on the ball the fans would stare
At his skill and cheek and his natural flare
and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul
(Chorus)
I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone on the wing
Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone on the ball, in our hearts he was best of all
I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone lord of the wing
Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone we'll not forget, hey Jimmy will we see your likes again.
His first game was March 1963
When he played his first game for his favourite team
He was proud to wear the hoops of green
He was the greatest Celt there's ever been
and he love the Celtic with all my heart and soul
chorus
He drove Jock mad with banter and crack,
He never would defend always attack
He would beat his man he had the knack
Bravery was an actual fact
and he I love the Celtic with all my heart and soul
chorus
