ALMA MATER

In the land of golden sunshine,By the Cumberlands fertile shore

Stands a school for greatest service,One that we adore.

Alma Mater how we love theeLove thy White and Blue,May we strive to meet thy mandate,With faith thats true.

Send forth sons both strong and valiant,Send forth daughters wise and true.

Filled with hope and dauntless courage,Motives sane and true.

Alma Mater kindly motherSmile on Tennessee,

May she lift her head toward heaven,Honor Country, God and thee.
