1. Far beneath the crags of Franklin Stand our Alma Mater’s halls. Gleams afar her rock-hewn campus, Dust brown walls against the hills. Gem of learning in a country Whose own wealth of lore enthralls. Hail the light of Texas Western And the mission she fulfills!
Chorus: Up! Men of mines, and hit the trail; The Texas spirit shall not fail; Miners fight for the right! For the orange and white! Tamp! Tamp! Tamp! Men of mines, Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Men of mines, Now clear the way, for it’s today, That we must gain the victory.
2. May the canyon walls above her Echo back her classic name, And the deeds of men who leave her Stir the heights on which she stands. May the pangs of recollection Set their memories aflame, Till they see again the beauty Of the vista she commands.
