1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Comraiths-in-arms lend me yer ears,
for Raith Rovers give three cheers,
there can nae be doubt, fear or illusion..
though visions have a rosy hue,
ye’ll find ours is navy blue..
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!
Viva och aye!
Raise th’ banner high!
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Nae matter come what may,
we will watch Raith Rovers play,
followin’ each game t’ its conclusion..
march thro’ this bonnie land,
wishin’ wishes, dreamin’ drams..
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!
Viva och aye!
Hear th’ battle cry!
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!!

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 T’ beat o’ drum an’ bagpipe skirl
let us create a brave new world,
built on Raith an’ hope an’ resolution..
singin’ “We Shall Rovercome”,
hearts an’ matches will be won..
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!
Viva och aye!
Can do it if we try!
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!!

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 A petition has been sent
t’ th’ Hoose o’ Parliament
demanding that there be a dissolution..
then by proclamation shall
Kirkca’dy be named capital..
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!
Viva och aye!
Firth o’ Forth t’ Isle o’ Skye!
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Very soon each year in May
we will have “Raith Rovers’ Day”,
’twill become a national institution..
folk flockin’ t’ Kirkca’dy
t’ come an’ join th’ party..
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!
Viva och aye!
Comin’ thro’ th’ rye!
Viva och aye th’ Roverlution!!!
