    There are as many correct versions of the song as there are posters on Bisonville.

    So here goes the first of many correct versions!

    Far across the plains of Fargo

    There for all to see.

    Stands an old abandoned outhouse

    Called the U-ni-versity

    Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison with their tails up in the air.

    University, University you can kiss whats under there.

    My point was, not the correct version, the fact that PL says "Across the Plains of Fargo" is correct, yet he started a thread and named the thread, this one, "Across the Plains of ND" I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's funny and odd he did that. My bad I guess.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I get the old version is a classic but times have changed and we are both Universities. So why run the risk of confusion? My version will always be

    On the plains of North Dakota
    there for all to see
    Stands an outhouse on the prairie
    And they call it U-N-D.
    Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison
    with their tails up in the air.
    University, University
    The Sue can kiss whats under there.
    Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!

    That's the version I learned in the early 90's, although there were a few older students that had a slightly different version.
