"Okmulgee High"
Lyrics: Betty Burruss (1947)
Okmulgee High! Thou art highest of them all, We your loyal subjects are list'ning for your call. Proud are we of your emblem, of colors red and black So we'll write your name in the book of time, your honor we will back. We are grateful for the mem'ries we have gather'd from the past. For friendship, truth and goodness, that make these mem'ries last For your helping hand and welcome, we would like to thank thee, too For taking us and making us each a part of you. Year to year we'll bear the Torchlight so the flame shall light the way For others who'll be guided by us from day to day And in each well-earned "O" a vow we give to thee To live, respect, to cherish the life you've made us see, Okmulgee High, Okmulgee High! |
