“Dear Old Dartmouth”
Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the College on the hill,
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her.
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though ‘round the girdled Earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains.
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch,
Lest the old traditions fail.
Stand as sister stands by brother.
Dare a deed for the old mother.
Greet the world from the hills with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith.
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them ‘til death.
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them ’til death. -

Play on play,
Are fighting like Dartmouth men.

“As the Backs Go Tearing By”
As the backs go tearing by,
On their way to do or die,
Many sighs and many tears,
Mingle with the Harvard cheers,
As the backs go tearing by.
Making gain on steady gain,
Echo swells the sweet refrain.
Dartmouth’s going to win today!
Dartmouth’s sure to win today,
As the backs go tearing by!
