"I went to an alehouse I used to frequent, I saw Jack Walker, his money was spent, He asked me to play, I answered him nay, I said rubbish like yours, I could beat any day.

Chorus: And it's no nay never, No nay never no more, Will we play Blackburn Rovers, No nay never no more.

Repeat Chorus

Burnley supporters' ode to their dearest rivals, Blackburn Rovers.
