A West Virginia University song, 1915
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Let’s give a rah for West Virginia
And let us pledge to her anew
Others may like black or crimson
But for us it’s Gold and Blue
Let all our troubles be forgotten
Let college spirit rule
We’ll join and give our loyal efforts
For the good of our old school
Chorus:
It’s West Virginia, it’s West Virginia
The pride of every mountaineer
Come on you old grads, join with us young lads
It’s West Virginia now we cheer
Now is the time boys to make a big noise
No matter what the people say
For there is naught to fear, the gang’s all here
So, hail to West Virginia, hail
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
