   I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight,
 D                          G            A
   I know it's evening when day turns to night,

   I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly,
 D                                    G             A
   They could save a lot of points by signing Hib's goalie.

   We fight   when they ask us,
 G    D     A         D
   We boast   then we cower,
 G    D   A       D 
   We beg   for a piece of
 G                                                    A
