Princeton University march song, 1906

The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

In Princeton town we’ve got a team
That knows the way to play
With Princeton spirit back of them
They’re sure to win the day
With cheers and song we’ll rally ’round
The Cannon as of yore
And Nassau’s walls will echo with
The Princeton Tiger’s roar

Chorus:
Crash through the line of blue
And send the backs on ’round the end
Fight, fight for every yard
Princeton’s honor to defend
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tiger! Siss! Boom! ah!
And locomotives by the score
For we’ll fight with a vim
That is dead sure to win
For Old Nassau
