Show Me the Scotchman
Click here to listen to Show Me The Scotchman

Show me the Scotchman who doesn't love the thistle;
Show me the Englishman who doesn't love the rose;
Show me the true-hearted son of old Springfield,
who doesn't love the spot,
where the Massasoit flows.

Show me the gypsy who doesn't love to wander;
Show me the sailor who doesn't love to roam;
Show me the true-hearted son of old Springfield,
who doesn't love to sing,
of his old Massasoit home.

Tell all the Dutchmen who hail from o'er the ocean;
Tell all the Irishmen who kiss the Blarney Stone;
Tell them that true-hearted sons of old Springfield,
will always praise the spot,
where the Massasoit is known.

Raise a Song For Springfield
Click here to listen to Song for Springfield

Now raise a song for Springfield
let hearts and voices blend,
to celebrate her praises,
whose fame shall have no end;
While fellowship makes holy
while eager hope elates;
And visioned youth come thronging
her spacious gates.

May victory descending
e're keep her banners bright;
And dye with new effulgence
our rare maroon and white;
Bright fairness with the winging
and energy to dare;
Together shall ye guardian,
her fields so fair.

Earth-wide may happy childhood
lift high its wond'ring eyes,
strong youth bring back the vision,
of earthly paradise;
To follow truth to wisdom
nor faith through faltering fears;
Be this thy task O Springfield,
through all the years.
