Lyrics
"On Iowa proudly at the fore On Iowa on for evermore Ev'ry loyal son will give A Rousing toast to you Ev'ry loyal daughter loves you true On Iowa with your wealth untold A heritage to us you did unfold Love of family, love of friend Love of country too Makes us proud for what you stand Our Dear Old Gold.

Iowa! Iowa! Iowa! Iowa! I-O-W-A!

Fight, Iowa, never, never yield Fight, Iowa, fight right down the field Get in the game and watch the ball Be a fighting Man Hit 'er hard, give Iowa all you can. Fight, Iowa, you'll be sure to hold We're with you with the pep And love of old. Fight for family, Fight for friend Fight for country too But fight hard today and win For Dear old Gold."
