Songs to keep and learn - No.7

I suppose I better put on my song for this week. This is a fairly recent addition to the Liverpool collection. It has only come into being in the last few years but is a regular song from the stands. It is sung to the tune of "The Fields of Athenry". There is a difference between the one below and what is sung. The below song is the original but we now sing about having Gerrard on the wing as opposed to Heighway.


The Fields of Anfield Road

Outside the Shankly Gates
I heard a Kopite calling :
Shankly they have taken you away
But you left a great eleven
Before you went to heaven
Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road.

All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
We had Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road

Outside the Paisley Gates
I heard a Kopite calling
Paisley they have taken you away..
You led the great 11
Back in Rome in 77
And the redmen they are still playing the same way

All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
We had Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road.
