    Oh when the saints is not a spurs song, just saying. Would be nice if you could get your own songs at times. That is all

    I'm sure the original version is oh when the saints, and has been our song for the past 100 years, not my fault your fans aren't creative enough to make up your own songs

    When the Saints Go Marching In
    "When the Saints Go Marching In", often referred to as "The Saints", is an American gospel hymn that has taken on certain aspects of folk music. The precise origins of the song are not known. Though it originated as a Christian hymn, today people are more likely to hear it played by a jazz band. The song is sometimes confused with a similarly titled composition "When the Saints are Marching In" from 1896 by Katharine Purvis (lyrics) and James Milton Black (music).[1]

    Swindon Town also sing "when the reds come steaming in". - So you might want to nicely ask them to get their own song, too.

    This tune and often the words are often used as a popular theme or rallying song for a number of sports teams (see When The Saints Go Marching In in sport). It is the main anthem of Southampton F.C, also from wiki

    well in that case you should stop singing "you're not singing any more" as i'm pretty sure a few other clubs use that.

    Oh I see

    It's only stealing when sports teams are involved

    Someone tell the music industry not to bother with suing downloaders
