Lyrics

The wording of the song is as follows.[3]

Fight, Devils down the field
Fight with your might and don’t ever yield
Long may our colors outshine the others
Echo from the buttes,
Give’em hell Devils!
Cheer, cheer for ASU
Fight for the Old Maroon
For its hail, hail, the gang’s all here
And it’s onward to victory.

Fight, Devils down the field
Fight with your might and don’t ever yield
Long may our colors outshine the others
Echo from the butts,
Give’em hell Devils!
Cheer, cheer for ASU
Fight for the Old Maroon
For it’s hail, hail, the gang’s all here
And it’s onward to victory!
