Words To An Old Wanderers Song

There is a song that doesn't get sung anymore - a proper oldie that was never sung even when I started going in about 1994.

 

Says something along the lines of 'they all laugh at us and they all say our days are numbered'

 

What is the full song? Might be worth a resurrection given our current plight?

Who's that coming up the hill boys

The Wanderers are coming up the hill boys

They all laugh at us

They all mock at us

They all say our days are numbered

Born to be a Wanderer, victorious are we,

You'd better hurry up cos we're gonna win the cup

We're the pride of Division 3-2-1

Victorious & glorious we took the Stratford end between the four of us,

Glory be to God that there were more of us.....

Gets aired plenty, though tends to peter out towards the end when people either disagree about, or just have no idea, what the words are!

Glory be to God that there weren't more of us,

We'd have took the fucking lot.

 

( I don't think the song was exclusive to Bolton, with other clubs having their own versions )

Sung every away day still by our lot.

Mostly in pubs, occasionally in the stand.

The owd 'uns are the best.

I was going to say....it's hardly been in hibernation

 

Only other team I've heard sing it are Liverpool; Born to be a Scouser

What I mean is - it doesn't get sung much at the match these days, or if it does its by small pockets of a few rather than a couple of hundred. I've been going to the match for the past 20 years and I've never heard a rousing rendition of it. I've heard a few half arsed attempts under the stands - but like has been pointed out already, it tends to fizzle out.

 

Anyway - I think it's a good one to resurrect. Cracking song.

Wasn't there a song to the tune of Molly Malone ? Or am i imagining it ?

In Bolton's fair city

Where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet molly Malone

She wheeled her wheel barrow

Through streets broad and narrow

To say Phil Browns super white army
