Ring out a cheer for our Alberta
A song of praise to Varsity.
For the splendour of our mountains
Our prairies green and gold.
Ranked beneath whose glowing colours,
Thy legions march enrolled.

Our memories will live forever Beloved University.
We will fight for thee and cheer
And ever hold thine honour dear.
Our Alma Mater U of A.

Green and gold! Quaecumque Vera!
Guide us through each coming era,
Guide us on through battle gory
To a new and greater glory.
