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!

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.
