Old Mercersburg
Verse 1 - Now we all march on together,
On through fair and stormy weather,
An when e’er we have a fight to fight,
We’ll win it for the Blue and the White:
She our pride and spirit raises,
As we stand and sing her praises,
For we proudly do our school revere,
And greet her with a rousing triple cheer.
Chorus - For Old Mercersburg!
To you we all are ever loyal
Old Mercersburg!
Your name will ever cherished be:
Old Mercersburg!
We’ll give a cheer for the Royal
Old Mercersburg! Our loved Academy.
Verse 2 - On we’ll march to fame and honor,
In her name we’ll fight and conquer
On the diamond, football field, or track;
Our rival’s team we’ll steadily hold back;
With a vim the fight beginning,
For old Mercersburg we’re winning;
When the battle’s o’er and the contest done,
Out team will have another vic-t’ry won.
Chorus

Chorus
M – E – R
M-E-R-C-E-R Mercersburg,
Mercersburg, my Mercersburg,
We’ll sing to thee,
Fairest Academy,
Give her a three times time,
Oh fellows,
Long may we cherish thee,
Faithful we’ll be
Mercersburg, my Mercersburg,
For you and me.
Mercersburg Alma Mater
High tower, above us her pillars,
In majesty crowning the hill,
She’s faced the wild storm waves of years,
And bravely she faces them still.
Come, Mercersburg’s all and we’ll praise her,
The world will we tell of her fame,
’Till down the long train of the ages,
Shall echo old Mercersburg’s name.
This world sweeping mightily onward,
Will whiten our heads with its years,
But ever we’ll greet Alma Mater
With full hearts and loud swelling cheers.
