The Ballad of Billy Bremner
(Shouted) Bil-ly Brem-ner (5 claps)
(repeated 5 times)
There's a tale I'm goin' to tell you
All about a brave young man
Who was born in bonny Scotland
That's where history began
He once cheered the Glasgow Celtic
Just the soon as he could talk
And he'd kick a paper football
Just the soon as he could walk
And his name is Billy Bremner
We will never forget his deeds
He was made to play for Scotland
Now he captains United of Leeds
So he came to Leeds United
And they made Don Revie the boss
All the Elland Road fans were excited
and wor gain was Celtic's loss
Many giants have tried to slay him
When he fights for every ball
But he knows the famous saying
When they're big the harder they fall
And his name is Billy Bremner
We will never forget his deeds
He was made to play for Scotland
Now he captains United of Leeds
When they talk of Mathews and Pele
Of Laughton and Finney and James
Like a whisky in your belly
He will glow amongst those names
He will lead our lads to glory
He will lead our lads to fame
When they sing United's story
You will always hear the name
And his name is Billy Bremner
We will never forget his deeds
He was made to play for Scotland
Now he captains United of Leeds
And his name is Billy Bremner
We will never forget his deeds
He was made to play for Scotland
Now he captains United of Leeds
(9 claps) Brem-ner
(repeated to fade)

Made in tribute to the Leeds United and Scotland legend Billy Bremner.
The record was released in 1971 but the wee Scot Bremner had already been mentioned in several Leeds United
records. It was only fitting that the man who would break himslef in two for The Whites had a record
made of his own. Written and performed by Ronnie Hilton.
