Lyrics
- On Iowa proudly at the fore
- On Iowa on for evermore
- Ev'ry loyal son will give
- A Rousing toast to you
- Ev'ry loyal daughter loves you true
- On Iowa with your wealth untold
- A heritage to us you did unfold
- Love of family, love of friend
- Love of country too
- Makes us proud for what you stand
- Our Dear Old Gold.
- Iowa! Iowa!
- Iowa! Iowa!
- I-O-W-A!
- Fight, Iowa, never, never yield
- Fight, Iowa, fight right down the field
- Get in the game and watch the ball
- Be a fighting Man
- Hit 'er hard, give Iowa all you can.
- Fight, Iowa, you'll be sure to hold
- We're with you with the pep
- And love of old.
- Fight for family, Fight for friend
- Fight for country too
- But fight hard today and win
- For Dear old Gold.
