Forever and Ever,
We'll follow the boys,
Of Manchester United,
The Busby Babes,
For we made a promise,
To defend our faith,
In Manchester United,
The Busby Babes.

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.

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.

For we all remember,
That '58 day,
And the plane that once stood on,
That Munich runway,
As it tried to take off,
For the third fatal time,
The immortal young babes were,
Cut down in their prime.

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.

So bow down before them,
And lift up your eyes,
For Old Trafford's glory,
Will always survive.

That bit gets sung regulalry, home and away.
Not heard the full version sung this season., just normally that bit repeated.
 
sent shivers up my spine when i heard it at Barca.

It was sang at the weekend too.

This song doesn't get an airing very often, which is a shame as its quality.

I think I've heard it at every home match this season.

Nobody ever goes passed the first verse though. Or, more accurateyl the first half verse, which is a shame - I reckon the "For we made a promise" bit should be sung, for balance - it's too short otherwise. Not expecting everybody to learn all 6 verses and keep them going, mind!

Odd that one. But then I've only been to 5 matches this season and it was only when I was in the Stretty v Bolton that I would say had a really good atmosphere (based on where I was sitting)

I'd like a similar thing with We'll never die, if not the whole song then at least the second verse!
