In the lad of golden sunshine
by the cum'lands fertile shore
stand a school for greatest service
One that we adore
Alma Mater how we love thee
love thy white and blue
May we strive to meet thy mandates
with faith that's true
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.
O, ever as we strive to rise
On life's unresting stream
Dear Alma Mater, may our eyes
Be lifted to that gleam.
