I'M A JAYHAWK

Talk about the Sooners

The Aggies and the Braves,

Talk about the Tiger and his tail,—
Talk about the Huskers,

Those old Cornhuskin’ boys,

But I’m a bird to make ’em weep and wail.

Chorus:

"Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw—

Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.

Got a bill that’s long enough

To twist the Tiger’s tail,

Husk some corn and listen

To the Cornhusker’s wail—

Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.

Looking down the Valley,

The lord of all he views,

The Jayhawk sees some tombstones in the vale—
The Tiger and the Sooner,

The Husker and the Brave—

And he’s the bird that made them kick the pail.

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All thro’ the night;

Guardian angels God will send thee,
All thro’ the night.

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,

Hill and vale in slumber steeping,

I my loving virgil keeping
All thro’ the night.

While the moon her watch is keeping
All thro’ the night;

While the weary world is sleeping
All thro’ the night.

O’er thy spirit gently stealing,

Visions of delight revealing,

Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All thro’ the night.
