Charles Zimmermann, Musical Director of the Naval Academy in 1906, with the lyrics provided by Alfred H. Miles of the Class of 1906, as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class instead of the usual class march Zimmermann had composed for previous classes. The song made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game, and when the Midshipmen won the game, the song became a tradition.
The lyrics are: Stand Navy down the field, Sails set 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
Blue & Gold “Blue and Gold” is the name of Naval Academy’s Alma Mater. The song is sung at the conclusion of every sporting event, at the end of pep rallies and at alumni gatherings. It is also sung in most companies by the plebes at the conclusion of the day; this event is also referred to as “Blue and Gold,” which is a short gathering to review the day for better or worse with the upperclass Midshipmen.
The lyrics are: Now, colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true; But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue?
For sailors brave in battle fair, Since fighting days of old, Have proved the sailor’s right to wear The Navy Blue and Gold!
… BEAT ARMY!
