LYRICS

Soak us to the skin
On the Shippo with no roof on
Walwyn scores. And City win.
Now we’ve reached the end
They say our old ground’s had its time
I don’t care, I love it there

Every bad match and heart they broke
We’d still come back for more
To hear the Longhurst roar

[Chorus]
Here we go
Do we want to? I don’t know
No Burton Stone for you but
We’ll still be red and blue and
Always be York City
But I’ll leave a little part of me
Bye bye Bootham
Bye bye

We beat Arsenal there
Cheered for Bottom, Brodie, Banton
Matty Blair and Ginner’s hair

It’s been bought and paid, thanks to Douglas Craig
There’ll be houses on a shrine
Didn’t even get to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Here we go
Do we want to? I don’t know
Got a new home, it’s true but
we’ll still be red and blue and
Won’t forget Connelly
Smashing one past Man City
Bye bye Bootham
Bye bye

I’ve got reservations
Cos they’re gonna knock you down
Build houses on our
Dreams and wishes
But we won’t forget that ground

After we’ve had vaccinations
And this whole thing’s turning round
We’ll still support them
In the new place
But we’ll always love our old ground
