Songs
Yea Alabama
Yea, Alabama! Drown 'em Tide! Every 'Bama man's behind you, Hit your stride. Go teach the Bulldogs to behave, Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave. And if a man starts to weaken, That's a shame! For Bama's pluck and grit have Writ her name in Crimson flame. Fight on, fight on, fight on men! Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then. So roll on to victory, Hit your stride, You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide!!
Alma Mater
Alabama, listen, Mother, To our vows of love, To thyself and to each other, Faithful friends we'll prove.
Faithful, loyal, firm and true, Heart bound to heart will beat. Year by year, the ages through Until in Heaven we meet.
College days are swiftly fleeting, Soon we'll leave their halls Ne'er to join another meeting 'Neath their hallowed walls.
Faithful, loyal, firm and true Heart bound to heart will beat Year by year, the ages through Until in Heaven we meet.
So, farewell, dear Alma Mater May thy name, we pray, Be rev'renced ever, pure and stainless As it is today.
Faithful, loyal, firm and true Heart bound to heart will beat Year by year, the ages through Until in Heaven we meet.
