Western Bulldogs

A few words to Sons of the 'scray may have changed along the way (the latest coming in 1997 when the name changed from Footscray to the Western Bulldogs), but the club has used the song set to the tune of Sons of the Sea for as long as anyone can remember. However, nobody knows when it was first used. 1954 premiership coach Charlie Sutton said it pre-dated his time at the club, which stretches back to the early 1940s.

 

(to the tune of Sons of the Sea, an old nautical song)
Sons of the west
Red, white and blue
We'll come out snarling, Bulldogs through and through
Bulldogs bite and Bulldogs roar, we give our very best
Cause you can't beat the boys of the Bulldog breed
We're the team of the mighty west
