OLD MISSOURI
Old Missouri, fair Missouri!
Dear Old Varsity,
Ours are hearts that fondly love thee.
Here’s a health to thee!
Proud art thou in classic beauty
Of thy noble past.
With thy watchwords, honor, duty,
Thy high fame shall last.
Every student, man and maiden,
Swell the glad refrain,
’Till the breezes, music laden,
Waft it back again.
Proud art thou in classic beauty
Of thy noble past.
With thy watchwords, honor, duty,
Thy high fame shall last.
