Great recording.

About the song, do you know its background and/or lyrics?

[Bison49]

The song is "On Bison." It was written in the 1950's. I cannot remember who wrote it though. THe words are

On Bison
Carry the fight
State is backing you

Green and yellow colors bright
To them we will be true

STATE BISON

Fight them right back to the goal
A victory for our name

On you Bison, fight you Bison
Stampede and win this game.


You can find "Yellow and the Green" on the same website of the Gold Star Band.

There's some great music on that site. Does anybody know the origin of the song titled "Fight Song". Is that an NDSU original as well. Also, what are the words to "Yellow and the Green"? Thanks.

[Bison49]

I think "Fight Song" aka "The Pride of North Dakota" is an original also. I do not know all the words, but they are printed in every weeks program. When I look at home, I will have them. During the pre-game show, the announcer always says, "We are the Pride of North Dakota" after the "Yellow and Green" play. This is how they announce the song.

The words to "Yellow and Green"

Ho! A cheer for green and yellow
Up with yellow and the green
They're the shades that deck our prairies
Far and wide with glorious sheen

Fields of waving green in springtime
Golden yellow in the fall
How the great high arching heaven
Looks and laughs upon it all.
