"Oh Years may come,

And many days may pass away.

The Memory of ol' J'ville High

Will always stay.

The Spirit so loyal

Brings Honor to your name.

The friendships dear,

that we made here

To you, you, you, you, you!

Oh years may come and years may go,

Remember this...

We're always true to you,

Ol' JHS!"

We're ever fighting,

For our Dear JMS Braves!"
