“Bye, Bye Tennessee Pride”
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
Ole Neyland used to make me smile
And now if I had my choice
I would yell at the top o’ my voice
About winning big games, it’s been a while
The Georgia State game made me shiver
I thought ole Pruitt would deliver
Bad news on the TV
How could this happen to U.T.
I know that many Vol fans cried
When they saw the team it had no pride
I lost something deep inside
The day Vol foot-ball died
So…
Bye, bye Tennessee Pride
Cancelled our season tickets should we run and hide
And them ole Vol boys were drinking whiskey and booze
Singin' every game this season…we’ll lose
Every game this season…we’ll lose
Did Peyton write the book on wins
Do you remember Fulmer always won 10?
Big Al Wilson would tell you so
In ’98 Tee Martin could throw and roll
Reggie White’s sermons could even save your soul
And I can teach you how to sing Rocky Top like a pro?
Well, I know that we’ll never beat Sa-bin
Are we even lifting in the gym?
Ran down to Calhoun’s
Man, I drank that whiskey and booze
I was happy fan back when Bama sucked
With a big orange t-shirt and a lotta luck
But I now all I said was ****!
The day, the Vols died
I started singin'…….
Bye, bye Tennessee Pride
Cancelled our season tickets should we run and hide
And them ole Vol boys were drinking whiskey and booze
Singin' every game this season…we’ll lose
Every game this season…we’ll lose
Now, for ten years the wins have been gone
And UT is thrown around like a little stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When ole Dooley caused quite a scene
And Butch Jones got red and screamed
They were no coaches for you and me
Oh and while the ole Gen was looking down
In heaven he had a major frown
All the fans were adjourned
But after last week they never returned
And while Bama continues to make their mark
The Vols program is stuck in park
And we sang Rocky Top in the dark
The day the Vols died
We were singin'…
Bye, bye Tennessee Pride
Cancelled our season tickets should we run and hide
And them ole Vol boys were drinking whiskey and booze
Singin' every game this season…we’ll lose
Every game this season…we’ll lose
