J{aiC! Minnesota
Minnesota, hail to thee!
Hail to thee, our college dear!
Thy light shall ever be
A beacon bright and clear.
Thy sons and daughters true
Will proclaim thee near and far.
They will guard thy fame
And adore thy name;
Thou shalt be their Northern Star.

To your colors true we shall ever be,
Firm and strong, united are we,
Rah, rah, rah, for Ski-U-Ma,
