Early version:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Daughters and sons of Williams sing
As we march on the field
Cheer till the hills and valleys ring
There’s never a thought to yield
We’ll back the team thro’ every game
With them in every play
Fling out the purple hail
For once again comes Williams’ day
Chorus:
Yard by yard we’ll fight our way
Thro’ Amherst’s line
Every one in every play, striving all the time
Cheer on cheer will rend the air
All behind our friends
For we’ll fight for dear old Williams
And we’ll win and win again
- Amherst and Dartmouth may be strong
Mighty and full of steam
Oft have they been of no avail
When they meet the purple team
Harvard and Eli both can tell
When we have dimmed their fame
Ring out the triumph bell
For once again we’ve won the game
