1. |
Stand Navy out to sea,
Fight our battle cry.
We'll never change our course
So vicious foe steer shy.
Roll out the T.N.T.
Anchors aweigh.
Sail on to victory,
And sink their bones
To Davy Jones, hooray!

College Version |

|
1. |
Anchors aweigh, my boys,
Anchors aweigh.
Farewell to college joys,
We sail at break of day.
Through our last night on shore,
Drink to the foam;
Until we meet once more,
Here's wishing you
A happy voyage home. |
|
|
| |
|
2. |
Stand, Navy, down the field,
Sail to the sky.
We'll never change our course,
So, Army, you steer shy.
Roll up the score, Navy,
Anchors aweigh.
Sail, Navy down the field,
And sink the Army,
Sink the Army Grey. |
