Let's Gooooo Mountaineeeeers!

"Hail West Virginia"

Let's give a rah for West Virginia

And let us pledge to her anew,

Others may be black or crimson,

but for us it's Gold and Blue.

Let all our troubles be forgotten,

Let college spirit rule,

We'll join and give our loyal efforts

For the good of our old school.
It's West Virginia, It's West Virginia

The Pride of every Mountaineer.

Come on you old grads, join with us young lads,

It's West Virginia now we cheer!

Now is the time, boys, to make a big noise

No matter what the people say,

For there is naught to fear; the gang's all here,

So hail to West Virginia, Hail
