lyrics

On the 1st of May, a canny day, in 2022
Over twenty thousand came to see
What the lasses they could do
For the first time in their history
St James’s was the scene
The NUFC women
Finally playing where they should be

To supporters and the players, all arriving at the ground
There was something special in the air
As kick off came around
The beginning of an era, the changing of the guard
The lasses taking centre stage
To do the city proud

Oh Howay The Lasses !
It’s long way overdue
The women of the black and whites
Were playin’ in the Toon
Oh Howay The Lasses !
St James’s Park awaits
To see wor lasses scorin’
By the roar of the Gallowgate

With the flags and banners flying
And the shirts around the ground
And Blaydon Races ringing out, amongst a record crowd
Aye the lasses played a blinder
Imaginations fired
For the young girls that were watching a day to be inspired

Oh Howay The Lasses !
It’s long way overdue
The women of the black and whites
Were playin’ in the Toon
Oh Howay The Lasses !
St James’s Park awaits
To see wor lasses scorin’
By the roar of the Gallowgate

Oh, and Alnwick Town were taken down
It was four nil by the close
They played their part, in a brand new start,
For the women’s game to grow
It was all in the best of spirits
Celebrations they displayed
The best of times on Tyneside
To see the lasses play

Oh Howay The Lasses !
It’s long way overdue
The women of the black and whites
Were playin’ in the Toon
Oh Howay The Lasses !
St James’s Park awaits
To see wor lasses scorin’
By the roar of the Gallowgate
