Fight Songs

1. S.U. Alma Mater

   Played after every game regardless of the outcome

   Where the vale of Onondaga

   Meets the eastern sky

   Proudly stands our Alma Mater

   On her hilltop high.

   Flag we love! Orange! Float for aye-

   Old Syracuse, o’er thee,

   Loyal be thy sons and daughters

   To thy memory.  

    

   When the evening twilight deepens and the shadows fall,

   Linger long the golden sunbeams on the western wall.

   Flag we love, Orange,

   Float for aye,

   Old Syracuse o’er thee!

   Loyal be thy sons and daughters

   To thy memory  

    

   When the shades of life shall gather, dark the heart may be,

   Still the ray of youth and love shall linger long o’er thee’.

   Flag we love, Orange,

   Float for aye,

   Old Syracuse o’er thee!

   Loyal be thy sons and daughters

   To thy memory

2. Down the Field

   The school’s official fight song

   Out upon the gridiron stands old Syracuse,

   Warriors clad in orange and in blue,

   Fighting for the fame of Alma Mater.

   Soon those Crouse chimes will be ringing,

   Soon you’ll hear those fellows singing.

   Onondaga’s braves are out to win today,

   The sons of Syracuse are ready for the fray,

   The line holds like a wall and now the Orange has the ball,

   So ready for that old long yell. Rah! Rah! Rah!  

    

   (Chorus)

   Down, Down the field goes old Syracuse,

   Just see those backs hit the line and go thru’;

   Down, down the field they go marching,

   Fighting for the Orange staunch and true.

   Rah! Rah! Rah!

   Vict’ry’s in sight for old Syr-a-cuse,

   Each loyal son knows she ne’er more will lose,

   For we’ll fight, yes, we’ll fight, and with all our might

   For the glory of old Syracuse.
