Apparently Villa supporters sing 'She wore a claret ribbon', & it sounds like a traditional song. I've looked at Villa sites & searched on here - without success. Thank you Hilary |

She wore it for the Villa, in the merry month of May, and when I asked, her why she wore that ribbon. She said it's for the Villa, coz we're going to WEMBLEY!! WEMBLEY!! WEMBLEY!! and we're the famous Aston Villa and we're going to WEMBLEY!! WEMBLEY!! WEMBLEY!! Jeff |

It's a version of She wore a yellow ribbon which as the entry in the DT says is a version of All Around my Hat Hope that helps |
