My heart belongs to the University of Kentucky

On! On! U of K

On, on, U of K, we are right for the fight today,
Hold that ball and hit that line;
Ev'ry Wildcat star will shine;
We'll fight, fight, fight, for the blue and white
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
And we'll kick, pass and run, 'till the battle is won,
And we'll bring home the victory.

No Kentucky game is complete without My Old Kentucky Home:

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corntop's ripe and the meadows in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, and bright;
By-n-by hard times come a-knocking at the door,
Then, my old Kentucky home, good-night!
(CHORUS)
Weep no more, my lady,
Oh! Weep no more, today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home far away.

And while I'm at it, the words to the UK Alma Mater.

Hail Kentucky, Alma Mater!
Loyal sons and daughters sing;
Sounder her praise with voice united;
To the breeze her colors fling.
To the blue and white be true;
Badge triuphant age on age;
Blue, the sky that o'er us bends;
White, Kentucky's stainless page.

Ohio University's fight song is used by at least one other college and lots of high schools. In fact, many years ago the OU Marching Band was playing at a high school game between two Ohio High School Football Powers, and all three schools used the same fight song.

A few years later, I was directing a Colorado/Kansas football game, and hear the Kansas Band playing the Ohio U. Fight Song in practice. When I questioned the band director, he said that it, as well as many other well known fight songs had been written by a very prolific guy in Kansas.

"Stand Up and Cheer"

Stand up and cheer,
Cheer loud and long for old Ohio,
For today we raise,
The Green and White above the rest,
Our boys are fighting,
And the are bound to win the fray,
We've got the team,
We've got the steam,
For this is old Ohio's Day...

Repeat

Ohio University Alma Mater:

Alma Mater, Ohio,
Alma Mater brave and fair,
Alma Mater we hail thee,
For we owe thy kindly care,
Alma Mater, Ohio,
As we sing thy story ore,
We revere thee,
And Cheer Thee,
As we sing thy praise once more.
