"Saskatchewan, Our University"
University Fight Song

Fight, fight, fight for the dear old Green and White,
Saskatchewan, our University.
And it's shout, shout, shout and let your voice ring out,
For Saskatchewan, our University.

We'll rise to a man, be it win or lose or draw,
And cheer old Alma Mater with a rah-rah-rah!
For Deo Patrie our mother strong and free-
Saskatchewan our University - Rah!

University Hymn

Sing for Saskatchewan,
And let your song ring out,
And rise for Saskatchewan,
Saskatchewan we shout.

Think of the days you've known,
Inside the Greystone walls,
Then rise for Saskatchewan,
Give your song, your heart, your all.
            - Words and music by Neil Harris

Recording by Greystone Singers, 1984 (Documenting Saskatchewan site)

Saskatchewan University

You ask what U. I love the most,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
Of this great U. I make my boast,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
From yonder broad Saskatchewan stream,
To where the gray stone towers gleam,
O fair it is as poet's dream,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!

Go, read the story of thy past,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
What glorious deeds, what fame thous hast,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
As long as time's great cycle runs,
While nations weep their fallen ones,
Thou'll not forget thy patriot sons,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!

So here's a health to our Varsity,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
We shall be ever true to thee,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!
As long as thy gray walls shall stand,
To thee we'll pledge our heart and hand,
The best-loved U. of many a land,
Saskatchewan! Saskatchewan!

(To the tune of "Maryland, My Maryland" ["O Tannenbaum"]; words by Clara E. Hill)
