1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 For ever and ever, we’ll follow the boys,
Of Man. United, the Busby boys,
For we made a promise, to defend our faith,
In Man. United, the Busby Babes.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We’ve all sworn allegiance, to fight till we die,
To stand by United, and the Red Flag we fly,
There’ll be no surrender, we’ll fight to the last,
To defeat all before us, as we did in the past.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 For we’re Stretford Enders, with United we grew,
To the famous Red Devils, we’re loyal and true,
To part-time supporters, we’ll never descend,
We’ll never forsake you, we’ll be here to the end.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 For we all remember, that ’58 day,
And the plane that once stood on, the Munich runway,
As it tried to take off, for the third fatal time,
The ‘Immortal’ young Babes were, cut down in their prime.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 In the cold snow of Munich, they laid down their lives,
But they live on forever, in our hearts and our minds,
Their names are now legend, for the whole world to see.
Why this club’s a religion, spelt M.U.F.C.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 So bow down before them, and lift up your eyes,
For Old Trafford’s glory, will always survive.
