Poor Scouser Tommy

Poor Scouser Tommy er en fotballsang som blir sunget av Liverpool FCs supportere. Den oppstod på 1960-tallet da Bill Shankley var manager der, og det ble lagt til et ekstra vers etter 5-0 seieren over Everton FC i 1982 da Ian Rush lagde 4 mål. De første versene er etter melodien fra "Red River Valley" og den andre delen er etter melodien fra "The Sash".

Sangen 

Let me tell you the story of a poor boy
 
Who was sent far away from his home
 
To fight for his king and his country
 
And also the old folks back home

 

So they put him in a Highland division
 
Sent him off to a far foreign land
 
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands
 
And there's nothing to see but the sands

 

In a battle that started next morning
 
Under an Arabian sun
 
I remember that poor Scouser Tommy
 
Who was shot by an old Nazi gun

 

As he lay on the battle field dying dying dying
 
With the blood gushing out of his head (of his head)
 
As he lay on the battle field dying dying dying
 
These were the last words he said...

 

Oh... I am a Liverpudlian
 
I come from the Spion Kop
 
I like to sing, I like to shout
 
I go there quite a lot (every week)

 

We support the team that's dressed in Red 

A team that we all know
 
A team that we call Liverpool 

And to glory we will go 

We've won the League, we've won the Cup
 
We've been to Europe too
 
We played the Toffees for a laugh
 
And we left them feeling blue – Five Nil!

 

One two
 
One two three 

One two three four
 
Five nil!
 

Rush scored one
 
Rush scored two
 
Rush scored three
 
And Rush scored four!
