The University of Vermont fight song, 1966
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- High o’er the waters of lake Champlain
Waves the green and gold
The emblem aspiring to wondrous fame
In all tradition told
Now we remain to uphold the name of Vermont
Strong and true
So to keep all things we love
At U. V. M is up to each of you
Chorus:
Let’s fight for Vermont, let’s fight for Vermont
For our alma mater dear
Let’s fight for Vermont, let’s fight for Vermont
Whose sons have ne’er known fear
We will tear up our mighty rivals
And pile up score on score
Come boys let’s fight, fight, fight
For old Vermont, for Vermont evermore
- When the war trumpet first called to arms
Green and gold rang true
And out in the shell holes of No man’s land
The Hun has met us, too
Hindenburg’s line which defied the world
Has crumpled ‘neath our thrust
But the boys who fought in France
While over there left Vermont in our trust
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
