A Cornell University fight song, 1905
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- See them plunging down to the goal
See the ruddy banners stream
Hear the crashing echoes roll
As we cheer for the big red team
Yea! Yea! Yea!
Refrain:
Cheer ’til the sound wakes the blue hills around
Make the scream of the north wind yield
To the strength of the yell from the men of Cornell
When the big red team takes the field, Yea! Yea!
- Three thousand strong we march, march along
From our home on the gray rock height
Oh! the vict’ry is sealed when the team takes the field
As we cheer for the red and white - Where the towers rise o’er the lake
There our fires in the night shall gleam
And the ivied walls shall quake
As we cheer for the big red team
Yea! Yea! Yea!
