about

Please buy a copy of this song for £1 or more if you can, to help raise money to buy a permanent memorial to the child evacuees from Liverpool during the second world war. Liverpool was the most bombed place outside of London.

lyrics

Yes we’ve all come to be here
Side by side the blues we’ll cheer
At Goodison the green green grass of home

The old ground looks the same
And it’s just another game
But I’ll be there for the boys in the royal blue jerseys
For Everton are in my heart though someday soon we must depart
From Goodison the green green grass of home

Yes, the old lady she’s still standing proud
As she echoes to the crowd
And the memories that she holds will never die
And survival it won’t tell the story when we recall her days of glory
Goodison the green green grass of home

Co’s she’s in our hearts and always will be
As we head for the banks of the royal blue Mersey
Goodison the green, green grass of home
yes, she’s in our hearts and always will be
As we head for the banks of the royal blue Mersey
Goodison the green green grass of home
Goodison the green green grass of home
