We've got chickens in our backyard

The robo-mod-bot won't let me put the name of the melody on here, so I am afraid I will have to describe it for you.

It's a traditional barn dance and wedding favourite named in honour of the Gordon Highlanders regiment. When I was a kind, we had our own words to it which included the chorus "Me Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers ..."

Is that the one you were thinking of?

i too have heard this...

it makes no sense but sounds good...

there is also another thing ive heard sang just before 'owen coyles super white army' starts...not got a clue what that is either...not many in my end do

maybe you could enlighten me...?

That's no problem - you just grunt blokish noises vaguely in tune with the rest of them. That's all half of them are doing anyway.

In Dublins fair city
where the girls are so pretty
i first set my eyes on sweet Molly
Malone
as she wheeled her wheel barrow
through streets broad and narrow
singing OC super white army

I saw my first Bolton game at 4 or 5, and I spent the next 2 years singing 'we are the wally wally Wanderers'.

is that REALLY wht they sing? were does the dublin connection come from?

Just the original words of the folk song, Rebel. I think the idea was a comic juxtaposition of Molly and her shellfish stand in 19th Century Dublin and a modern(ish) football crowd - like, that's the absolute last thing she would be singing. When I first heard it she was singing Ian Greaves' SWA, so it's been around a while.

Sorry to go on about this, but I have just discovered courtesy of Google that the tune is not called the [banned word rhymes with Day] Gordons - that's the name of the dance that is often accompanied by the tune. The tune's title is [another banned word rhymes with rock] o' the North.

Apparently we adopted it from the Watford fans in the 70s.

Could somebody link me to the tune?
