GW Fight Song

Learn the GW Fight Song

At every GW sporting event you will hear the GW Fight Song.  As you walk around campus, you will hear the carillon chimes ring out the GW Fight Song twice a day.  Well, are you wondering what the GW Fight Song is?


Here's the history:
In 1924, Eugene Sweeney wrote the song entitled Buff and Blue, which served as the fight song for the GW Football Team. In the 1990's Patrick M. Jones rewrote the song so that it could be used for any GW athletic contest and entitled it The GW Fight Song.

Here are the words: Hail to the Buff, Hail to the Blue, Hail to the Buff and Blue! All our lives we'll be proud to say, We hail from GW! Go Big Blue! Oh, by George, we're happy we can say, We're GW, here to show the way, so Raise high the Buff! Raise high the Blue! Loyal to GW You bet we're Loyal to GW! Fight!
