He was born in bonny Scotland
And he played the football game
He came to Liverpool in '59
To help us win again
Then with his mighty red army
He marched to victory
He was a legend in his time
Our hero bill shankly
So all say thanks to the Shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song for all the world
From this his Liverpool home
No matter were you come from
No matter who you are
Remember the year of '59
When the reds they found a star
And now he shines so brightly
For the boys of Liverpool
Soon the world was about to find
This man was nobody's fool
So all say thanks to the Shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song for all the world
From this his Liverpool home
Then he asked no favours
Just hard work lets get it right
You can only succeed through dedication
And his men they all saw the light
He gave this town his loyalty
And proved it all by success
So always remember when we had Bill Shankly
We all knew we had the best
So all say thanks to the Shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song for all the world
From this his Liverpool home
