OLD GOLD O Iowa calm and secure on thy hill, Looking down on the river below, With a dignity born of the dominant will Of the men that have lived long ago; O heir of the glory of pioneer days, Let thy spirit be proud as of old, For thou shalt find blessing and honor and praise In the daughters and sons of Old Gold. We shall sing and be glad with the days as they fly In the time that we spend in thy halls, And in sadness will part when the days have gone by And our paths turn away from thy walls. Till the waters no more in thy river shall run, Till the starts in the heaven grow cold, We shall sing of the glory and fame thou has won And the love that we bear for Old Gold. ON IOWA On, Iowa, proudly at the fore, On, Iowa, on for evermore, Ev'ry loyal son will give a rousing toast to you, Ev'ry loyal daughter loves you true, On, Iowa, with your wealth untold, A heritage to us you did unfold. Love of family, love of friend, love of country too, Makes us proud for what you stand, our dear Old Gold. WHAT'S THE WORD? What's the word? The word is fight, fight, fight for Iowa Let every loyal Iowan sing. The word is fight, fight, fight for Iowa until the walls and rafters ring; Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for Iowa Come on and cheer until you year the final gun. The word is fight, fight, fight for Iowa- until the game is won. 28
