We still today, Thy loyal sons and daughters, Follow them on, And pledge our loyalty. The Fight Song O, Davidson! O, Davidson! you are the best Old College in the East or West. You play the fair game You play the square game. And you win in everything. And when the Red and Black machine Is out to fight and looking mean - Then I am happy as for you I sing.
