Associations with the city of Wolverhampton

In the United Kingdom, the song is famous for being the anthem of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. It is played at their home ground of Molineux as the players run out onto the pitch, with supporters replacing the highpoint of the chorus with 'Hi Ho Wolverhampton!'. The song is also an unofficial anthem of the city of Wolverhampton, as the song is often played in pubs, clubs and bars around the city with people singing the same modified chorus lyrics as are sung at Molineux.
