ALMA MATER
Dear Southern
O Southern, Dear Southern, Thy praises we shall sing, until all the heavens and echoes loudly ring.
The winds of the sky as they pass us by will adoration bring.
O Southern, Dear Southern, We owe our all to Thee, in downfall or vict‘ry, we‘ll always loyal be.
Thy Sons and Daughters as they work, Will be inspired by Thee.
O Southern, Dear Southern, Thy name will ever be, as mighty as the river that flows on to the sea, as pure and
true as the Gold and Blue, That stands out bold for Thee.
WORDS AND MUSIC BY R.E. BROWN, JR.

And we‘ll fight, fight, fight
‘Til we win the victory.
