The Days at Fair Bucknell

Title

The Days at Fair Bucknell

Description

“College Song Dedicated to the Memory of Christy Mathewson”
V1
We sing the days at fair Bucknell,
The merry chase for “Cap and Gown”
With band, parade, and College bell,
To liven up the town
Brave dauntless days, so fleet awing
Bright sunny days, of these we sing
V2
We sing the “Sem,” the fairy dell
Where Cupid careless twangs his bow,
And flings his darts, where coeds dwell
The fairest girls we know,
With them betimes we climb the “Hill,”
And face the recitation grill
V3
Let other sing in praises high
Their supermen and what they’ve done,
We’ll lift our voices to the sky
And sing of Mathewson
We’ll sing the way he played the game,
‘Twas clean and square,
We’ll do the same
Refrain
All hail (all hail) to thee (to thee)
O Alma Mater mine
No groves so green no sky so blue as thine
All hail (all hail) to thee (to thee)
O Alma Mater true
Unstained shall fly the Orange and the Blue
