Roll Tide Roll!

By Joe

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.
Go, roll to victory,
Hit your stride,
You’re Dixie’s football pride,
Crimson Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide!!

Hey Clemson!
Hey Clemson!
Hey Clemson!
We just beat the hell out of you!
Rammer Jammer, Yellowhammer,
give ’em hell, Alabama!

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Good heavens! I should add the words of the “Washington & Lee Swing” to this post:

    “When Washington and Lee’s men fall in line,
    We’re going to win again another time;
    For W&L I yell, I yell, I yell,
    And for the University, I yell, like hell!
    And we will fight! fight! fight! for every yard;
    Circle the ends and hit that line right hard!
    And we will roll those Wahoos on the sod!
    Yes, by God! RAH! RAH! RAH!
    HEY!”
