[edit] Lyrics
The original and best known lyrics:
First Verse
- Oh, we're from dear old Wesleyan,
- The school to us most dear,
- It's the place we love the best,
- Finest school in east or west;
- So we will hail the name we all revere.
- We love our Alma Mater
- In everything we take the lead,
- Sport and thought and noble deed,
- And so for Wesleyan we'll give
- Our yell: "Rah! Rah!"
- Sport and thought and noble deed,
Chorus
- So here's to old Wesleyan,
- Loud we will sing!
- We'll drink a toast to Wesleyan
- From the good old Sulfur Spring,
- Then here's to old Wesleyan,
- Join every man!
- We'll drink a toast
- From the Sulfur Spring to Wesleyan!
- And so for Wesleyan we'll give
- Our yell: "Rah! Rah!"
- Sport and thought and noble deed,
Second Verse
- Her students all are loyal,
- They're for her to the man,
- The men are manly, brave and true.
- They're the ones to dare
- And do-the kind of men
- You'll find at Wesleyan;
- And then, there are the ladies who
- Grow to us most dear;
- They're the pride of Monnett,
- Sweet and beautiful you can bet,
- And now for them we'll give
- A hearty cheer, "Rah! Rah!"
