A question for the older supporters.... on 13:32 - Nov 12 by DJR
Another favourite of mine.
You are my Ipswich, my only Ipswich, You make me happy when skies are grey, You never notice, how much I love you, Please don't take my Ipswich away.
Incidentally, I think there was much more variety in the songs we sung then.
I might add that I listened to the Fulham game and thought they did have a good variety of songs.
You missed "and blue and white" shoehorned in after the "grey". It always seemed to be sung by an alternative section of the crowd like a call and response.

Oh me lads, you should have seen their faces Walking down Portman Road To see the Robson aces

In your Liverpool slums, In your Liverpool slums, You look in the dustbin for something to eat, You find a dead rat and you think it's a treat, In your Liverpool slums

I started going in 1969 and this is an early favourite.
From the banks of the River Orwell to the shores of Sicily, We will fight, fight, fight for Ipswich til we win the Football League, To hell with Liverpool, to hell with Man City, We will fight, fight, fight for Ipswich til we win the Football League,
Our version of this was … From the doors of the Safe Harbour to the doors of the Blue Coat Boy We’re gonna drink drink Tolly Cobbold till we drink the b@stards dry To hell with watneys ale To hell with Ind Coope too We’re gonna drink drink Tolly Cobbold till we drink the b@stards dry .

This was a straight steal from Manchester United, substituting River Orwell for River Irwell - why do think it references Liverpool and Man City? They still sing it today. Rather we used our own songs.

It doesn't stop it being a good song, and I think you'll find virtually none of our songs are original.

It's just Ipswich Ipswich ad nauseum.... its spine tingling when it used to go right round the ground during our seventies cup runs!
Spine tingling is right - I sitting near the half way line listening to the Town fans who had the Holt End at Villa Park in the 75 semi-final v West Ham and the volume was incredible. Simple to remember a single word and no gratuitous swearing involved.

I was there that day!
Remember walking in a tunnell under the stands, was so packed I couldn't feel my feet touching the ground much and was carried along by the force of the thousands of Ipswich fans compacted in to a small space all pushing and shoving to get in to the stand. Looking back , it's a miracle there weren't more tragedies at football grounds.

In Dublin's fair city Where the maids are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Singing

In the unlikely event that no one knows the tune, here it is (Still wishing Joni a happy eightieth birthday...):
Although the North Stand didn't dole the tune out with the same finesse. Joni's version was played on the BBC2 Folk Show special about her a couple of weeks ago and someone messaged Mark Ratcliffe with a reminiscence about the song being sung at Roker Park with slightly changed words...and I thought it was just us that sang that one.
