georgetown university - the college boat song lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
above the smooth and limpid wave,
come, speed our boat along,
and as she dashes to the goal
we’ll time her with a song.

[chorus]
give way, give way, no man shall say
we’re laggards at the oar;
no dame shall flush, nor maiden blush,
for georgetown’s honest fame.
hurrah! then, boys, hurrah! hurrah!
the blue and gray forever.

[verse 2]
we give to thee, potomac fair,
thou river all our own.
as trim a bark, as blithe a crew
as e’er thy waves have known.

[chorus]
give way, give way, no man shall say
we’re laggards at the oar;
no dame shall flush, nor maiden blush,
for georgetown’s honest fame.
hurrah! then, boys, hurrah! hurrah!
the blue and gray forever.
[verse 3]
speed, speed her on with stalwart arms,
cleave, faster cleave the wave!
these storied shores should look alone
upon the dauntless brave.

[chorus]
give way, give way, no man shall say
we’re laggards at the oar;
no dame shall flush, nor maiden blush,
for georgetown’s honest fame.
hurrah! then, boys, hurrah! hurrah!
the blue and gray forever.

[verse 4]
she flies: the oars, with rhythmic beat,
divide the sparkling spray:
she leaps like some g+y thing of life,
all eager for the fray.

[chorus]
give way, give way, no man shall say
we’re laggards at the oar;
no dame shall flush, nor maiden blush,
for georgetown’s honest fame.
hurrah! then, boys, hurrah! hurrah!
the blue and gray forever.
[verse 5]
still on! the blue our pennon bears,
to triumph leads the way:
or, if we fail we still shall hold
to honor with the gray.

[chorus]
give way, give way, no man shall say
we’re laggards at the oar;
no dame shall flush, nor maiden blush,
for georgetown’s honest fame.
hurrah! then, boys, hurrah! hurrah!
the blue and gray forever.
