On a hallowed hill in Tennessee
Like beacon shining bright
The stately walls of old UT
Rise glorious to the sight.
So here’s to you old Tennessee
Our alma mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.
What torches kindled at that flame
Have passed from hand to hand
What hearts cemented in that name
Bind land to stranger land.
So here’s to you old Tennessee
Our alma mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.
O, ever as we strive to rise
On life’s unresting stream
Dear Alma Mater, may our eyes
Be lifted to that gleam.
So here’s to you old Tennessee
Our alma mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.
Waxing nostalgic for your days on the Hill, Brian? By the way, does your (or should I say OUR) other alma mater even have a song (perhaps the Doxology?) 🙂
Ha. This would be one of a number of differences between my undergraduate and graduate schools.
Big win for the Volunteers. It’s hard to believe we’ve had freshmen running the show these first two games. It bodes well for the future. Now if we can beat Georgia. . . .
I was sooo close to adding you to my left margin links, but then I saw this poem, and remembered the officiating, and, well, me being a Gator, it’s all over between us.
Alas. Apparently one can’t please everyone.
