"Billy Boys", also titled "The Billy Boys", is a loyalist song from Glasgow, sung to the tune of "Marching Through Georgia". It originated in the 1920s as the signature song of one of the Glasgow razor gangs led by Billy Fullerton and later became viewed as reflecting the long-running sectarian religious hatred between Protestants and Catholics in the city.
