The Fight Song Lyrics of the SEC...(plus a poll)

Because we are so used to "I'm a jayhawk", "Boomer Sooner", "Wildcat Victory" and the other fight songs of the Big 12, I thought we could delve into the world of SEC Fight Songs.

Two rules here...first these are the "official" fight song of each University (so no "Rocky Top" or "Glory to Old Georgia") with the "official" lyrics and two I don't own the copyrights to any of these...I'm just posting them here for reference...Most of these songs are available on the sports website of the University they represent anyway.

Without further ado...

 University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa

Yea Alabama

Yea, Alabama! Drown ‘em Tide!

Every ‘Bama man’s behind you,

Hit your stride.

Go teach the Bulldogs to behave,

Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave.

And if a man starts to weaken,

That’s a shame!

For Bama’s pluck and grit have

Writ her name in Crimson Flame.

Fight on, fight on, fight on men!

Remember the Rose Bowl, we’ll win then.

So roll on to victory,

Hit your stride,

You’re Dixie’s football pride,

Crimson Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide!!

Dynamite, Dynamite
When VANDY starts to fight.
Down the field with blood to yield,
If need be, save the shield.
If vict'ry's won, when battle's done,
Then VANDY's name will rise in fame.
But, Win or lose,
The Fates will choose,
And VANDY's game will be the same.
Dynamite, Dynamite
When VANDY starts to fight!
Fight!
