ong lyrics

Hail dear 'ole State,
Fight for that victory today;
Hit that line and 'tote that ball;
Cross the goal before you fall,
And then we'll yell, yell, yell, yell!
For dear 'ole State we'll yell like H-E-L-L!
Fight for Mis-sis-sip-pi State,
Win that game today.

There are alternate lyrics for basketball:

Hail dear 'ole State,
Fight for that victory today;
Pass the ball and slam it in,
Score some points so we can win,
And then we'll yell, yell, yell, yell!
For dear 'ole State we'll yell like H-E-L-L!
Fight for Mis-sis-sip-pi State,
Win that game today.

Use In Football Games

Hail State is played by the Famous Maroon Band at the start of each home game and after each time the team scores. There are several abbreviated versions that are played as stand tunes or in combination with the full theme.

At the end of each winning game, the band plays Rock and Roll Part II, with fans cheering "Hey, go State" during the chorus. During the bridge, fans typically chant,

"We just beat the hell outta you;
Maroon and white, fight fight fight;
Mississippi State, woo! Damn right!"
