The Almamater
A Song For Springfield
Now raise a song for Springfield
Let hearts and voices blend
To celebrate her praises
Whose fame shall have no end
While fellowship makes holy
And eager hope elates
And visioned men come thronging
Her spacious gates
May victory descending
E'er keep her banners bright
And dye with new effulgence
Our rare maroon and white
Bring fairness with thee winging
And energy to dare
Together shall ye guardian
Her field so fair
Earthwide may happy boyhood
Lift high is wondering eyes
Strong youth bring back the vision
of earthly paradise
To follow truth to wisdom
Nor faint through faltering fears
Be this thy task O Springfield
Through all the years.

Springfield College Dream Girl
Springfield College dream girl,
I'm in love with you
You have been my dream girl
All the long years through
College days are over
Life begins anew
Life would be sweet
If I happened to meet
A girl like you.
Four years have passed
Since we were last
Freshman true
Through all these years
of hopes and fears
We've dreamed of girls like you.
Show Me the Scotchman
Show me the Scotchman
Who doesn't love the thistle
Show me the Englishman
Who doesn't love the rose
Show me the truhearted son of old Springfield
Who doesn't love the spot
Slap, Slap, Slap
Where the Massasoit flows.

Maroon Team
When our maroon team marches down the field
With power in every stride
Cheer you loyal sons to victory
Put all doubts and fears aside
For the team will fight to victory
While proud our colors fly
We will win today another fray
Give Springfield's battle cry.
(shout) WE FIGHT

We're Going to Leave Old Massasoit
We're going to leave old Massasoit
We're going to leave the town
We're going to leave those maidens fair
With eyes so blue, so brown
Our boat is on the river
The hour is drawing nigh
For when the sun goes down tonight
We're going to say goodbye
Chorus
We're going to say goodbye
We're going to say good bye
For when the sun goes down tonight
We're going to say goodbye.
We're going to leave old Massasoit
We're going to leave the school
We're going to leave the shaded banks
The water clear and cool
We've wandered through the buildings
We've trod the campus o'er
But when the sun goes down tonight
We'll bid the au-re-voir
We're going to leave old Massasoit
Our student days are o'er
We're going to leave our comrades true
To meet them all no more
Oh dear old almamater
We'll hold thy standard high
Until the sun of life goes down
And we must say goodbye.

For Old Springfield
Where the pines stand on high o'er the far shining water
Where winds whisper soft through the forest of yore
There rise thy towers, our beloved almamater
There sounds thy praise from each echoing shore
Let each noble deed In our memory be dwelling
When victory has crowned us on track, field or floor.
Then our voices we raise in a glad chorus swelling
To thee, dear old Springfield our anthems we pour
For Old Springfield, for old Springfield
We'll score away and win the day for Springfield
For she is where you learn to play the game
And she is where you learn to win the same
The very best place on earth is she
with a rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, 'rah,
Springfield, Springfield, Springfield
For old Springfield, for old Springfield, for old Springfield
We'll score away and win the day for Springfield.
