Love shall never lack,
Nor our loyal admiration,
For the red and black.

Stand for serious aims,
While the crimson mingled with it,
Courage strong proclaims
To your lofty pure ideals,
We shall always cling,
And our heart's sincere devotion,
We shall always bring
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Let us pledge anew,
Faithful, loyal, willing service,
Cedartown, to you"
