Cletus mi beauty - that's the one that I can remember last being raised in Lyon. Mentioned it on here before but couldn't remember most of it due to my fondness for the alcoholic water.

Been around for a while from the Eighties might have even been earlier, obviously the words have changed but at last a title to it.

[Rover 'til I die]

Why do they sing "pick up the stick"? It doesn't make sense, the original versions is "Go left, go right, go pick up the stride, go left, go right, go left". Also you miss-spelt Pedersen.

I first heard it outside the pub across the road from The Dell. Can't remember which season though.

first heard it down at norwich mid-week (those days are long gone!) some guy sang it in a pub near the ground.

Geordies use that too.. well not the players but their own version!

Any board-membs who I could recognise on that Youtube clip?

[DeadlyDirk]

I strongly remember this being on 'They Think IT's All Over' only being sung by Berwick Ranger fans.
