“Our fame will spread from shore to shore,
Soon all will hear the Roker Roar,
And it will echo throughout the land,
The name of our team Sunderland,
Sunderland will never die, We’ll keep the red flag flying high
Flying high, Up in the sky, We’ll keep the red flag flying high,
Everywhere we go, be sure to know,
We’ll keep the red flag flying high...”

And a constant chant of “Ha’way The Lads” between every song.

A proper slow Haway The Lads like in 73 as per @Roker Mackem
Oh yes, please! How I wish the current generation of singers (especially those lads who start the songs off) would embrace this. The slow, original chant of 'Haway The Lads' followed by clap clap-clap absolutely thundered around Wembley in 73 and was a major feature of our fans' backing throughout the 70s and beyond. It is (IMHO) far better and more effective than the hurried, nondescript current version as the words run into each other and can barely be understood by anyone other than our own fans. In short, the modern version is an unimpressive mess.
Sometimes, not always, the original is best. This is one of those times.
This a million times over.
'Haway the Lads' is our very own unique chant and we can keep it up for hours so long as everyone keeps the RHYTHM ffs! We have to clap along otherwise it turns into garbled chaos and dies out after ten seconds. Please somebody upload a 73 clip to show what we mean.
We have our very own 'We are Wearside' too, and 'Sun'land till I Die' which both need to be heard over and over. Finally, 'Wise Men' is OK as a quicky leading into 'Sun'land' but it would be utter class if we could sing along with the King at the correct speed (and all three verses and the middle 8) maybe at the end, celebrating a win.
