A University of Florida song, 1925
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
On, brave old Florida
Just keep on marching on your way
On, brave old Florida
And we will cheer you on your play
Rah! Rah! Rah!
And as you march along
We’ll sing our victory song anew
With all your might
Go on and Fight, Gators, Fight!
For Dixie’s rightly proud of you
Chorus:
So give a cheer for the Orange and Blue
Waving forever! forever!
Flag of old Florida
May she droop never
We’ll sing a song for the flag today
Cheer for the team at play
On to the goal we’ll fight our way
For Florida
We will hit their line just like a crash of thunder
We will tear their backs and ends a-sunder
Florida! Florida! Rah!
Chorus:
So give a cheer for the Orange and Blue
Waving forever! forever!
Flag of old Florida
May she droop never
We’ll sing a song for the flag today
Cheer for the team at play
On to the goal we’ll fight our way
For Florida
