Lyrics

  1. Come and sing dear old Virginia’s name
    And make the Blue Ridge roar
    For the world yields honor to her name
    Who knew her deeds of yore
  2. Then make each heart a flowing bowl
    And pour our pledges strong
    As down the ages still we roll
    Virginia’s triumph song
  3. Once more our might has won the fight
    We gain the victor’s due
    And all men raise their voice to praise
    The Orange and the Blue
  4. So, through the years, like Cavaliers
    We’ll shout Virginia’s name
    It e’er shall be on land and sea
    A sign of might and fame
