Ohio State University fight song, 1919


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

  1. In old Columbus there’s a team
    That’s known through-out the land
    Eleven warriors, brave and bold
    Whose fame will ever stand
    And when the ball goes over
    Our cheers will reach the sky
    Ohio Field will hear again
    The Buckeye Battle Cry

Chorus:
Drive! Drive on down the field
Men of the Scarlet and Gray
Don’t let them thru that line
We have to win this game today
Yea! Yea! Yea!
Smash through to victory
We cheer you as you go
Our honor defend
So we’ll fight to the еnd
For Ohio

  1. We’ll scatter to the East and West
    When college days are done;
    And memories will cling around
    The dreams of everyone.
    We’ll play the game of living
    With heads and shoulders high!
    And with it wear the spirit of
    The Buckeye Battle Cry!
