This is for Olly who is in Cape Town, I reckon he’d sooner be at the Huish to watch the Glovers sneak three points from  league leaders Charlton Athletic. 

The picture was posted on twitter this morning by Chris Sweet. If I bump into Chris or Charlie Bryant today, I’ll buy them a drink in the tent ; this is the artwork of Charlie’s five year old neice and jolly good it is too!

Come on Yeo!

I was born on a Yeovil Saturday

It was pissing down with rain

My Mum said

“What a big head

I ain’t doing that again”

Well me  Dad rushed in

And here is the thing

He gave me some great advice

He said “now listen my boy

It ain’t all joy

But remember this all your life

In my heart I am always Yeovil

I belong to the Yeovil Town

Yeovil True,

through and through

Whether we’re up or down

Cos the sign of a true supporter

Is the colour of their heart

Day or night,

I’m green and white

We are Yeovil Town”

oh ah

Well I grew up I never faltered

And I found me a Yeovil gal

Then there came ,

 a wedding day

And this is the tale to tell

Now the vicar he said be faithful

And all others you must forsake

I said “I’ll marry you true

Cos I love you

But there’s something that I must say..

In my heart I am always Yeovil

I belong to the Yeovil Town

Yeovil True, through and through

Whether we’re up or down

Cos the sign of a true supporter

Is the colour of their heart

Day or night,

I’m green and white

We are Yeovil Town”

 oh ar

Well  time went by

And my gal and I

We had a little boy

And as things go,

we loved him so

Our little pride and joy.

He learned to walk,

 then he learned to talk

Imagine my heart that day

My emotions stirred

With his first words

When I heard him say

Go on then…go on  boy…go on my son

“In my heart I am always Yeovil

I belong to the Yeovil Town

Yeovil True,

through and through

Whether we’re up or down

Cos the sign of a true supporter

Is the colour of their heart

Day or night

 I’m green and white

We are Yeovil Town”

oh ar
