der da, da da, da da, da da...der...da, der...da, der da, da da, da da, da da...DER da...DER da, Der da etc... We all follow Brighton and Hove Albion. What is that song? It's probably been around for 40 years, I only heard it at the Birmingham away game, it's my favourite song ever. I love it, got a bit of the sea shanty about it. What's the history?

It's an old USA civil war shanty, reborn by the NSk boys I believe. It's also a kaz ditty with different words obviously.

Think I first remember hearing it the last time Zamora & Sidwell were playing for us. At least 13 years ago.

Well it's impossible to write it down without recording my own voice and the tune of it because there's no lyrics till the end
Haven't you been to a game recently....More so at away games but it is sung at home too!

WhenJohnny comes marching home is the original name I think.The NSk boys have been singing it for a few season now, under the police box, just nobody can hear that well elsewhere. And because people are a bit rubbish at remembering words it's morphed into the one you like.

I haven't noticed it at home games, but then I sit in the west stand and I should transfer to the North because it's where I belong. Was great singing it coming out of Birmingham fc stadium though

No I don't go to games. Of course I go. It's just I can never guess any song from a series of da da da ders.
