Alabama Fight Song

LINK

There ya go. They'll play it through once, and then sing the whole thing.

Love it! Thanks

Those are the original and current lyrics and they don’t need to be touched by you no account, carpetbagger, Jersey Shore looking, upstart, band waggoning newbies.

I was only in the MDB for 5 years...what do I know.

It's NOT "Yea, Alabama! Crimson Tide!" like is in that recording. It's wrong. Period.

No..Just No..

It sounded just fine on the Baseball field too. Still get chills when its fired up.

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.
Go, roll to victory,
Hit your stride,
You're Dixie's football pride,
Crimson Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide!!

Yes. You are right about that part. It’s Drown ‘em Tide.

It's actually:

quote:

---

Let the Swanee Tiger scratch;
Let the Yellow Jacket sting;
Let the Georgia Bulldog bite;
Alabama still is right!
And whether win or lose we smile,
For that's 'Bama's fighting style:
You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide! (A-L-A-B-A-M-A)

Chorus:
Yea, Alabama! Drown 'em Tide!
Ev'ry '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 his 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.
Go! Roll to vict'ry! Hit your stride!
You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide!

ETA - It's a bit ridiculous to have it reference specific other schools. Most fight songs don't. But that's what happens when you let a student editor at the CW write your fight song.

quote:

---

We desperately need some new lyrics.

I mean this with all my heart.







Also here's a great clip of the fight song with singing

quote:

---

I was talking more about how it is strictly about football.

All of these things were written for football

Kentucky's fight song

quote:

---

Hold that ball and hit that line
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
And we'll kick, pass and run

Duke's

quote:

---

For the touchdown's there for you 
Go get 'em

North Carolina's

All Hail to Colors White and Blue 
Let's make a TouchDown Carolina
