Accies Songs

Having tried google, the results were very limited.

We have a sometimes creative section of young men who have come up with some cracking songs..ala Rakish Bingham. Feed the MAC and he will score etc.
I was wondering if anyone can list the words to accies songs maybe forgotten? Or the modern ones. I heard a version of the celtic "this is how it feels" last week but couldn't hear the words.

To the fields of athenrye (or however you spell it)

Loafs, pies and meals at Sainsbury's
Where once we stood on the old terraces
At the old Douglas Park
Where we sang and had a lark
Now it's so lonely at the Sainsbury's car park

Remember when.. from 2 nil down
We beat the Well when they first came to town
Then Fulston wore the crown
Broke our hearts and closed it down
Now it's so lonely in the Sainsbury's car park

That's quite catchy Bluesy.
Remember the 0-2(3-2) game well.
Dennis McQuade hitting the Accies winner.

No it never really caught on. Surely all songs are made up?
Sang it in a few pubs over the years.
Flung out of a Rangers pub in Janefield Street (next to Parkhead) after we sang that (don't think they listened to the words).
Perhaps lost its relevance a Wee bit after we moved back to Hamilton but I really like it.
You must have been hiding big wurzil

I've heard "this is how it feels to be Accies, this is how it feels to be small.."
..but not sure what you mean by the Celtic? I thought it was a song by crappy 90s band inspiral carpets.

Some old and not so old favourites:

His name is John Brogan
The King of The West etc etc

I can't read
I can't write
That don't really matter
Because I'm a Partick Thistle fan
And I'm a "Merchant Banker"

Oh no Celts at all
No Rangers to sadden my eyes
No Airdrie/No Well
They can all go to hell
We'll keep the red flag flying high etc etc


When I was young and had no sense
I bought a flute for 50pence
The only tune that I could play
Was fcuk The Well and The Airdeeraay

Walking past Fir Park singing a song

As I was on my way to Douglas Park

Oh yer sister's yer maw

Bang up to date now are the following:


Kinda like Tiffany's "I think we're alone now"

We hate Dundee
Everybody hates Dundee barstewards

And indeed,a la Inspiral Carpets

This is how it feels to be Accies
This is feels to be small
We've got two stands
And a gaz-eeebow,gaz-eebow

I must have been hiding as well .... cause I've not heard that once . ....
YOH has a better handle on the songs I know from Accies ..
I did like singing / shouting /chanting "oo to , oo to be , oo to an Accie " in the shed .
Although this is stolen from Hibs....

Oh no celts at all was a favourite of mine - forgot about that completely

Born is the king of Douglas Park - Jamie, Jamie etc

When the red red robin goes bob bob bobbing along

Some extremely obscure H is 'cause we're Hamilton and A because we're Accies M because we're mental and I because we're it (which basically went through all the letters of Hamilton Accies) but I can't remember the full thing

I Should say incidentally that I don't think I once heard loafs pies and meals sung at a game - only in pubs.

Scarlet ribbon is so under used also (obviously not unique to us right enough)

There's a big, fat fan who sings a rather obscure song:
"Steak pie, sausage roll. Come on Accies give us a goal"
Not as bad as the baldy fella who constantly sings "this is awesome" over and over again.
