'Cause You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Sunlight in your eyes
Strolling down the London Road
Close to Paradise
Glasgow Green it is your playground
The City is your world
And you fell for her passion and her pain

You went marching out for Cuba
Long before you saw her shores
Standing with the West Bank
Against its bloody war

You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Justice is your name
And you fell for her passion and her pain

You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
The city's in your heart
With your people in the East End
You grow to play your part
And Maclean's down in the shipyards
The tanks are in George Square
And you fell for her passion and her pain

You went marching out for Cuba
Long before you saw her shores
Standing with the West Bank
Against its bloody war

'Cause you're real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Justice is your name
And you fell for her passion and her pain

'Cause You're a real Glasgow Joe, my boy
Sunlight's in your eyes
As you're strolling down the London Road
Close to Paradise
Glasgow Green was your playground
The City your world
And you fell for her passion and her pain
Yes you fell for her passion and her pain
'Cause you fell for her passion and her pain
