Wave the Flag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wave the Flag (For Old Chicago) is the fight song for the University of Chicago's athletic teams, the Maroons. Gordon Erickson wrote the song in 1929. The tune was adapted from Miami University's "Marching Song" written in 1908 by Raymond H. Burke, a University of Chicago graduate who joined Miami's faculty in 1906.

[edit] Lyrics

Wave the flag of old Chicago,

Maroon the color grand.

Ever shall her team be victors

Known throughout the land.

With the grand old man to lead them,

Without a peer they'll stand.

Wave again the dear old banner,

For they're heroes ev'ry man.
