Verse I Dear A&T, Dear A&T, a monument indeed, Around thy base with grateful hearts behold thy students kneel. We bless the power that gave thee birth to help us in our need, We'll ever strive while here on earth all loyalty to yield. Refrain With joy, with joy, dear A&T, thy students turn from thee To spread thy trophies year by year from Dare to Cherokee.
