princeton university - the orange and the black lyrics

[verse 1]
although yale has always favored
the violet’s dark blue,
and the many sons of harvard
to the crimson rose are true,
we will own the lilies slender,
nor honor shall they lack,
while the tiger stands defender
of the orange and the black.
we will own the lilies slender,
nor honor shall they lack,
while the tiger stands defender
of the orange and the black.

[verse 2]
thro’ the four long years of college,
‘midst the scenes we know so well,
as the mystic charm to knowledge
we vainly seek to spell;
or, we win athletic vict’ries
on the football field or track,
still we work for dear old prince+ton,
and the orange and the black.
or, we win athletic vict’ries
on the football field or track,
still we work for dear old prince+ton,
and the orange and the black.
[verse 3]
when the cares of life o’ertake us,
mingling fast our locks with grey,
should our dearest hopes betray us,
false fortune fall away,
still we’ll banish care and sadness
as we turn our mem’ries back,
and recall those days of gladness
‘neath the orange and the black.
still we’ll banish care and sadness
as we turn our mem’ries back,
and recall those days of gladness
’neath the orange and the black.
