Lyrics

(Wales Wales Wales)
(Wales Wales Wales)
(Wales Wales Wales)

With bucket hats and banners
We’re here to make some noise
We wear the red of Cymru
And we’re cheering on the boys
Just like the red Welsh dragon
That’s tattooed on my arm
The fire of Wales is calling
Saying “Please don’t take me home”

Red dragon red dragon
Red dragon tattoo
Red, white and green for Cymru
Written on my red dragon tattoo
Woohoo woohooo woohooo
Red, white and green for Wales
And a red dragon tattoo

We’ve had dark days a plenty
Tales of woe and tragedy
When Gary left us early
There was no way to foresee
How Cookie came to lift us
With that semi final run
The fire of Wales is calling
Saying “Please don’t take me home”

Red dragon red dragon
Red dragon tattoo
Red, white and green for Cymru
Written on my red dragon tattoo
Woohoo woohooo woohooo
Red, white and green for Wales
And a red dragon tattoo

Oohoo Oohooo
Oohoo Oohooo
Red dragon red dragon
Red dragon tattoo
Red, white and green for Cymru
Written on my red dragon tattoo

Red dragon red dragon
Red dragon tattoo
Red, white and green for Wales
Written on my red dragon tattoo

Woohoo woohooo woohooo
Woohoo woohooo woohooo
Woohoo woohooo woohooo

Red, white and green for Wales
And a red dragon tattoo

(58 Guns will never die)
(58 Guns will never die)
(58 Guns our battle cry)
(58 Guns will never die)
