I'm a rambler... Blades song

[SwissBlade]

Got introduced to this last night, sounds like an old song which has been forgotten. We were taught the words by Chris off of eggheads' stunt double.

Anyone remember all the words. It went down quite well after a few jars

 

[Foxy]

I'm astounded it's the first time you've heard it.

Seriously?

 

[SwissBlade]

So am I but then I don't travel to away games that much and I've not tended to hang around much after the games.

Never heard it sung at a game, certainly not at home

 

[Foxy]

Never heard it sung at a game, certainly not at home

That's understandable , I know our away support has been a lot quieter over the last few years, but I felt sure you'd have come across it.

Did he teach you any about sausage dogs?

 

[SwissBlade]

No...

 

[Foxy]

No...

pfft

Wait till I've succeeded in either wall mounting this TV, or spectacularly breaking this TV and the wall and I'll come back and post them

 

[Foxy]

Hurrah, TV still in one piece and successfully suspended from the wall.

So, I'm assuming you mean:

I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler
I'm a long way from home
I've followed United from Sheffield to Rome (or I'll follow, depending on your preference)
I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler, I'm a Blade 'til I die

and the other one, which I think it's only fair I just start off is:

[insert number here] men went to shit, went to shit on Wednesday...

 

[SwissBlade]

Foxy yep thats the one. But can you do the 2nd verse of the rambler...

I know one man went to mow. Is that the sausage dog song?

 

[Foxy]

Foxy yep thats the one. But can you do the 2nd verse of the rambler...

Usually dies or repeats after the first to be honest. I've heard a few different attempts over the years.

The effort I've heard more recently is this one:

I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler, I go to every game,
I hate Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds just the same,
I'm glad when we win, And I'm sad when we lose,
We are ramblers, We are gamblers, We are Blades on the booze

That it?

I know one man went to mow. Is that the sausage dog song?

"One man and his supersonic sausage dog, with a blades tattoo on his nob, went to shit on Wednesday."

 

[SwissBlade]

That's the one! Ta duck!

 

[judge]

Love that song , only gets sung on the way to and from away games though

 

[Sheff de party]

it was class that song like. even the Brentford fans were happy to sit and listen to it (or so it seemed to us inebriated ones).

he really did look like the guy from Eggheads.

 

[Rodley]

Cracking song is that. Also, love a bit of:

We all follow United, Over Land and Sea (AND WEDNESDAY), we all follow united on to victory (all together now).

We hate Sheffield Wednesday, we hate Wednesday too (AND WEDNESDAY), we hate Sheffield Wednesday, but United we love you.

Given up on the away days these days, bit tame for me.

My Old Man's the best..

 

[mattbianco1]

My old man said be a wednesday fan, i said fuck off bollocks your a cunt.
We'll take hillsborough and all thats in it, we'll take hillsborough in just one minute
With hatchets and spanners, garden knives and spanners, we are the boys from Bramall Lane.
We go home and away on on a Sat-ur-day where the beer tastes all the same

My old man said be a wednesday fan, i said fuck off bollocks your a cunt.
He said come on we're going to the game, I said FUCK OFF i'm going down the lane.
So i went down to John Street, found myself a good seat, saw the boys go two up at the break.
Then it's off to the bar for a pint of Magnet and a meat pie filled with steak.

 

[SwissBlade]

A lot of these songs I've heard over the years either at school, at the games or later in life, but the rambler one seems an old one... does anyone have any more from bygone years (pre 80's or 90's)

PM me your email address. I can send you a CD

Been searching the forum for old school blades songs, mattbianco1, do you still have a copy on cd? Or able to send it via email or anything? Cheers mush

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

What's that one about beer drinking and unsolicited sex that a few folk are trying to get going?

 

[Rodley]

The definition of "shitbantz" is that post

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Okay, we'll drop that one from the set.

 

[Bayingblade]

Whatever happened to 'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go?

A song forever associated with football but no longer heard. Strange.

 

[WhiteHawk]

The version I know is slightly different.

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
I'll follow United from Sheffield to Rome
I'll eat when hungry I'll drink when I'm dry
But I'll follow United till the day that I die

We also used to sing....

Cooooooommmmmmmmmmmme oooonnnnnnn yooooooooo Blaaaaaaaaaaddes"

 

[itsinyerblood]

No thanks. I'm Asian and that's one song I don't want to hear again.
UTB

The fact that anyone would choose to sing that song, especially with the relish I can imagine, only strengthens the belief that within any football club there exists a reactionary, bigoted, and ultimately racist group. It's not specific to Wednesday I should add, but those of a blue and white persuasion who despise this as much as I do should make their feelings known and register their antagonisms towards this poisonous group of neanderthals.

 

[B14Nco]

I know this seems a little odd... but does anyone else make songs up for players in their heads or is it just me? (Granted some rehashed) I'm sure some of them are better than most of the newer, we're massively hard and like tits songs that seem to be the only ones that catch on at the moment.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty out there that could come up with something good that's original to us, and is difficult to steel.

Like a Sheffield United x-factor but with all the usual stuff we love... swearing, intimidating Connotations and delusions that we're better than we are?

Infact I'm going to start a new thread.

And expect it to disappear off the face of the planet within hours with zero to no interest apart from people telling me to get lost.

We hate Sheffield Wednesday, we hate Wednesday too (AND WEDNESDAY), we hate Sheffield Wednesday, but United we love you.

We all follow United, Over Land and Sea (AND WEDNESDAY), we all follow united on to victory (all together now).

I always thought it was "FUCK WEDNESDAY"

"Oh my what a referee, what a referee what a referee"

 

[I should coco]

Whatever happened to 'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go?

A song forever associated with football but no longer heard. Strange.

Sung with some relish at Millmoor when Bob Atkins scored his wonder goal.

"Sing something simple,
You simple,
TWATS!"

Another fine piece of terrace poetry...
