Georgetown University song from 1894
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Sons of Georgetown Alma Mater
Surft Potomac’s lovely daughter
Ever watching by the water
Smiles on us today
Now her children gather ’round her
Lo, with garlands they have crowned her
Reverent hands and fond enwound her
With the Blue and Gray
Chorus:
Wave her colors ever
Furl her standard never
Raise it high and proudly cry
We’re Georgetown’s sons forever
Where Potomac’s tide is streaming
From her spires and steeples beaming
See the grand old banner gleaming
Georgetown’s Blue and Gray
- Throned on hills beside the river
Georgetown sees it flow forever
Sees the ripples shine and shiver
Watching night and day
And each tender breeze up springing
Rarest woodland perfumes bringing
All its folds to fullness flinging
Flaunts the Blue and Gray
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
