ROCKY ALMA MATER

Rock Island High School Alma Mater

Lyrics

By the mighty Mississippi
On a rocky shore
Stands the school we love so dearly
Now and evermore

Alma Mater, Alma Mater
We thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending
To the Crimson and the Gold

Tho' the future years may part us
Still together now
Faith and love to old Rock Island
Evermore we vow

Alma Mater, Alma Mater
We thy children as of old
Sing thy praise in song unending
To the Crimson and the Gold

Mixing a traditional treatment with a bit of jazz - this is a memory of the Rock Island area to me - traditional values blended with a strong river jazz influence!
