Songs of Purdue

Hail Purdue

First Verse:

    To Your Call Once More We Rally;
    Alma Mater Hear Our Praise.
    Where The Wabash Spreads Its Valley;
    Filled With Joy Our Voices Raise.
    From The Skies In Swelling Echoes
    Come The Cheers That Tell The Tale
    Of Your Vict'ries And Your Heros,
    Hail Purdue! We Sing All Hail!

Chorus:

    Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
    All Hail To Our Old Gold And Black!
    Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
    Our Friendship May She Never Lack.
    Ever Grateful, Ever True,
    Thus We Raise Our Song Anew;
    Of The Days We've Spent With You,
    All Hail Our Own Purdue!

Second Verse:

    When In After Years We're Turning,
    Alma Mater, Back To You.
    May Our Hearts With Love Be Yearning
    For The Scenes Of Old Purdue.
    Back Among Your Pathways Winding
    Let Us Seek What Lies Before;
    Fondest Hopes And Aims E'er Finding,
    While We Sing Of Days Of Yore.

Third Verse:
Sung only by the band at special events

    In the Band we March and Swagger
    As we Play for Old Purdue
    At the Halftime we do Shows
    No other Band on Earth Could do
    When we Cheer the Earth Will Tremble
    For We're Known Throughout the Land
    As the Best in Marching Music,
    We're the Boilermaker Band

For the Honor of Old Purdue

First Verse:

    Come Along Let Us Join In A Song.
    Hail To Old Purdue!
    On The Wabash She Stands
    With Her Welcoming Hands,
    As An Alma Mater True.
    Far And Wide She's Our Own Hoosier Pride,
    Ever We Loyal Will be,
    So We'll Sing It Out.
    And Raise A Shout,
    For Our University

Chorus:

    Then Hail! All Hail To Old Purdue!
    The Pride Of All The West
    We'll Sing Out The Story,
    And We'll Tell Of The Glory,
    Of The School We Love The Best.
    Then Hail! All Hail To Old Purdue!
    Our Alma Mater True,
    And We'll Ever Stand,
    Ev'ry Heart And Hand,
    For The Honor Of Old Purdue!

Second Verse:

    Once Again In A Mighty Refain,
    Hail To Old Purdue!
    From The Ends Of The Earth,
    Men Have Heard Of Her Worth,
    And Have Found Her To Be True.
    She's So Grand She's The Best In The Land,
    Ne'er Can Her Full Worth Be Told,
    Tho' Both Loud And Long,
    Her Alumni, Strong,
    May Sing Of The Black And Gold.

Fighting Varsity

    Here's The Fighting Varsity
    That Wears The Black And Gold.
    They Fear No Foe
    And They Hit Them Low.
    Let's Give Them All Three Mighty Cheers,
    Rah! Rah! Rah!
    Here's The Fighting Team, Boys,
    That Fights For Old Purdue.
    With Loyal Hearts
    We Will Play Our Parts
    As We Yell For Old Purdue.

    Purdue, Purdue, Rah! Rah!
    Purdue, Purdue, Rah! Rah!
    Who! Rah!
    Who! Rah!
    Bully For Old Purdue.

Purdue Hymn - The Alma Mater

    Close by the Wabash
    In famed Hoosier land
    Stands old Purdue
    Serene and Grand
    Cherished in Memory
    By all her sons and daughters true
    Fair Alma Mater
    All Hail Purdue
    Fairest in all the land
    Our own Purdue
    Fairest in all the land
    Our own Purdue
