OP
Our fight song was written by a Marine while standing guard on the front lines.
Texas stole their song from a blackface minstrel show. Just like they stole other "traditions".
Now idgaf what longhorns sing, but there is no comparing the origins of the songs.

Aggy’s fight song is set to the tune of Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby.
The Eyes of Texas was written in 1903 by a UT student based on the UT President ending his speeches with “The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You.” It wasn’t stolen from anyone, other than the tune (see: Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby).
And we’ve beaten them 76 times, not 75.
Now frick off.
