Club song

Chorus:
Oh when the Saints come marching in
Oh When the Saints come marching in
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints come marching in

(Chorus)

We are travelling the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited
On a new and sunlit shore

(Chorus)

Some days in this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I’m waiting for that morning
when the new world is revealed

(Chorus x2)
