In
many lands and climes this April day Proud
sons of Texas A&M unite. Our
loyalty to country, school, we pray, and
seal our pact with bond of common might. We
live again those happy days of yore on
campus, field, in classroom, dorm, at drill Fond
memory brings a sigh -- but nothing more; Now
we are men and life’s a greater thrill, Before
we part and go upon our way, We
pause to honor those we knew so well; The
old familiar faces we miss so much today Left
cherished recollections that time cannot dispel. Softly
call the Muster, Let
comrade answer, “Here!” Their
spirits hover ‘round us As
if to bring us cheer! Mark
them ‘present’ in our hearts. We’ll
meet some other day There
is no death, but life etern For
our old friends such as they!

Texas Aggies, down in Aggieland, We've got Aggie spirit to a man; "Stand united," that's the Aggie theme: We're the twelfth man on the team.
When we're down, the goin's rough and tough; We just grin and yell, "We've got the stuff To fight together for the Aggie dream," We're the Twelfth man on that FIGHTIN' AGGIE TEAM!
