A University of Oregon song, 1916
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- She is small, our Alma Mater
But she rules with strength and right
What she lacks in mass and numbers
She makes up for in her fight
Oregon is never beaten
‘Till the final whistles call
Who can tell her tale of triumph?
Scores can never show it all
Chorus:
Oregon, our Alma Mater,
We will guard thee on and on,
Fellows gather ’round and cheer her,
Chant her glory, Oregon!
Roar the praises of her warriors,
Sing the story, Oregon,
Down the grid iron, urge the heroes
Of our Mighty Oregon!
- Rally fellows, stand behind them
They are doing all they can
Back the team in sun and shadow
Back the captain, back each man
They will carry home the victory
To old Deady’s hallowed hall
Give the team the best that’s in you
Give your Alma Mater all
