Amherst University fight song, 1902
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Come and sing, all ye loyal Amherst men
Come and give a rousing cheer
Join our line as we march along so fine
With hearts that have no fear
Left and right ‘neath the purple and the white
We march in bold array
So everybody shout and sing
For this is old Amherst’s day
Refrain:
All along the line
Cheer for old Amherst
Amherst must win
Fight to the finish
Never give in
All play your best, boys
We’ll do the rest, boys
Fight for the Victory
- Soon our foe shall our strength in conflict know
Soon our power they shall feel
Vanquished then they’ll give way to Amherst men
Whose cords are strong as steel
Then let’s hear ringing out another cheer
Which will drive defeat away
So everybody shout and sing
For this is old Amherst’s day
