Fight Song & Alma Mater

Alma College Scots Fight Song 

Onward Scotsmen, show them how you fight,
Onward Scotsmen, let them feel your might,
Show them what it's like to tangle up with Alma,
Onward to Victory!

Onward Scotsmen, hold your heads up high,
Onward Scotsmen, mighty as the sky,
Keep the Scots' tradition ever in your hearts,
And fight your best for Alma's fame!

And when the boys hear the pipers piping,
Hear all the Scotsmen singing,
Then once again, deep within each Scotsman
Runs a surge of power!

Onward Scotsmen, hold your heads up high,
Onward Scotsmen, mighty as the sky,
Keep the Scots tradition ever in your hearts,
And fight your best for Alma's fame!

The Alma Mater

Loyal hearts will cherish ever
Thoughts of Thee throughout the years.
Pledging Thee a fond devotion
Guardian of our hopes and fears.

Alma! Alma! Sing of Alma Mater.
Thy loyal children chant
Thy hymn of praise.

Memory holds a cherished picture;
Jungle, grove and campus fair.
Sons and daughters ever faithful;
Hail Thee one beyond compare.

Alma! Alma! Sing of Alma Mater.
Thy loyal children chant
Thy hymn of praise.

[repeat, humming]
