Loyal Saint Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 (edited) Good song the Hearts lads have, listen to it a couple of times and I wouldn't mind the lads running out to this (obviously I've changed the words a little :-). The bit in bold could be sung fairly easily... thoughts? Down on the South coast, a famous old side Everyone knows of their passion and pride So this is the story their history paints There's no other team to compare with the Saints _______________________________________________________________ S-A-I ....... N-T-S If you can not spell it then here’s what it says, Saints, Saints, Glorious Saints, It's down at St Marys we bide, The red & white stripes always up for the fight Its Southampton we follow with pride ____________________________________________________________________ You’ll hear the noise when the Saints are about, Pride of the South it is never in doubt We flock to St Marys we packed out the Dell, Where teams like United and Liverpool fell ________________________________________________________________________ S-A-I ....... N-T-S If you are a thick skate then here’s what it says, Saints, Saints, Glorious Saints, It's down at St Marys we bide, The red & white stripes always up for the fight Its Southampton we follow with pride This is my story, This is my song , Follow the Saints and You can't go wrong, Onwards we march and together we stand The famous Southampton, the best in the land Edited 25 July, 2009 by Loyal Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Most of that tune, the first part anyway, is from a well known folk tune sometimes known as 'Willikins and his dinah" which has been used for dozens (or more) different sets of words because it's so adaptable (and in many societies well known). Sing the first few bars to anybody who knows even a little traditional music and they'll know the rest. Let me know the words and I'll sing it!

Professor Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 'Fraid the mention of "Skate" tends to imply an obsession with our neighbours or even an inferiority complex, which Saints fans as a whole don't have. It needs that line changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
