General Songs

Who We Bate
We bate Wales and Faroes
We bate Ukraine too
We bate Belarus more than once
Cos Norn Iron we love you

Tell Me Ma
I’ll tell me ma when I go home
The girls are in the Euro zone
They bate the Welsh
Goodbye Ukraine
Northern Ireland wins again

They are handsome they are pretty
These are the girls from Belfast city
They are scoring 1,2,3
Please will ye score a goal for me

ChampIAN STEWARTnova
How many goals will Rachel score?
How many times will GAWA roar?
Where were you when we were in decline?

Walking past the City Hall.
Faster than McCarron’s ball.
Where were you for England in 05?

Someday you will find me
1 up at Saint Mary’s
With the green and white army singing loud and proud

How many shots did Jackie save?
She’s from Ulster, she’s so brave.
We were there with Northern Ireland flags.

Alfie Wylie did his job.
But Kenny Shiels is our wee God.
Where were you when he was at Coleraine?

Southampton you can see me
We’re from our wee country
We were there and we were getting high.

Zombie
Another win comes slowly
The Norway net is breaking
Who are we Miss Taken?
All our violence caused the silence
We’ve got Nadene Caldwell

And you see it’s not me
It’s the GAWA family
With her head with her head
She is scoring
Ashley Ashley Ashley

It’s the same wee Nadene from 2016
With her right at Seaview she is scoring
V Ukraine 🇺🇦
Wee Nadene
Wee Nadene
Caldwell

With Demi Vance with white pants
In the box she is fighting
With her head with her head
Demi Vance

Any player from Tyrone
She comes from Tyrone
She comes from Tyrone
(Player’s name)
She’s one of our own

Dire Straits Sisters in Arms

These Sperrin mountains
Are a home now for me.
But my home is the Bangor
And always will be.

Someday Norway will return to
Their valleys and their farms.
But that’s after they’ve been bate by
Our sisters in arms.

Through our lives of destruction,
We had bonfires of fire.
And your Proddy he killed me.
On your Catholic’s desire.

But though they did hurt us so bad.
Giants Causeway alarmed.
You’re better than violence.
Our sisters in arms.

Now the Hutts to Caldwell.
Every woman has pride.
Let me wish you George Best.
Cos every team fears our side.

It’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm.
They are fools to wage war on my sisters in arms.
