Lyrics:
By the Mighty Mississippi, on a rocky shore—
Stands the school we love so dearly, now and evermore.
uedbet体育官网, uedbet体育官网, we thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending to old Augie’s blue and gold.
Tho’ the future years may part us, still together now—
Faith and love to uedbet体育官网 evermore we vow.
uedbet体育官网, uedbet体育官网, we thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending to old Augie’s blue and gold.
