-> fight song <-
The midi file playing is "Washington and Lee Swing",
the fight song of Washington and Lee University which is also
used by many high schools and a few other colleges. I think it's
also the Ramsay fight song from long ago.
Ask someone who was in the band to listen
to it to be sure it's the right one. [Send comments to webmaster@ramsayreunion.com.]
When I listen to it I am reminded of pep rallies at Ramsay.
If it is the correct tune I think it would be just the music to
accompany the title page. I recall few of the words. The
beginning had something about "Ramsay Rams go marching
in" and later the words "roll old Woodlawn on the
floor". At least thats what sticks in my mind. I've never
seen the lyrics.

You've probably received several versions of the Ramsay fight
song by now, but this is the way I remember it. I think you're
correct about the tune, never knew what the name of it was.
Oh when those Ramsay Rams all fall in line,
We're gonna win that game another time.
And for the dear old school we love so well,
We're gonna Yell & Yell & Yell & Yell & Yell.
We're gonna fight, fight, fight for every score,
We're gonna win this game and then some more, then some more
Roll Old Woodlawn on the floor, on the
floor,
Roll, Roll, Roll.*
Not very original, but I think that's it. 40 years is a long time to remember anything.
