By the mighty Mississippi
On a rocky shore
Stands the school we love so dearly
Now and evermore
Alma Mater, Alma Mater
We thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending
To the Crimson and the Gold
Tho' the future years may part us
Still together now
Faith and love to old Rock Island
Evermore we vow
Alma Mater, Alma Mater
We thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending
To the Crimson and the Gold
