Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
Its organic. The players were singing it. There’s a connection to a historic moment in Orient history.
I’m fully behind it.

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
So, what's the connection to Brentford supporting bore-rockers Quo then?

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
Never heard it before, but clearly the players like it and it seems to have captured their moment.

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
I suspect Charlie Kelman, our resident American might have introduced it to the team?
It's catchy song with cringy lyrics, all the memorable ones are.

Apart from Tijuana Taxi. I can't remember any of those lyrics.

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
The players may like it, but they'll all be gone in 5-10 years and most of us will still be here. I'm all for getting lost in the moment, but let's not be too hasty.

They also like the bars of Chigwell, baseball caps, plucking their eyebrows and going live on Insta.
We don't have to get involved in any of that nonsense.

It's total crap nothing catchy at all about it, the crowd will never sing it, as soon as Kelman goes out the door the song will follow him, good riddance to it

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
Can't believe anyone can be negative about this song or the players singing it.Quirky choice but then there is only one Orient,and remember that we proudly run out to Herb Alpert every home game

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
Did you not actually watch the video of the players who won promotion singing it in the dressing room?Type high wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 11:13 amThere is no connection whatsoever, it's total crap will never be sung by the crowdBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:18 amIts organic.

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
I can't believe so-called professional athletes are singing about something as unhealthy as a Wagon Wheel. We shouldn't be encouraging impressionable youngsters to each chocolate covered biscuits with marshmallow. They should sing about apples or pears (or both, since it's in London).

Re: Rock me Mama like a Wagon Wheel
Here are the lyrics for anyone that cares to join with the likely supporter involvement with this on Saturday...someone clever will probably be able to make them more specific to Orient
Heading down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbing my way into North Carolina
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me
Running from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he's a-heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey momma rock me
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, hey momma rock me
Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel (I wanna feel)
Hey, hey momma rock me (momma rock me, momma rock me)
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
(I wanna rock like a south bound train)
Hey momma rock me
Rock me
Heading down south to the land of the pines
