GO SCITUATE SAILORS !!!
|
|
I attended my first SHS basketball game in December 1979. The Scituate Sailors came out of their locker-room for the pregame warm-up accompanied by Anchors Aweigh played loudly and proudly by the award winning SHS marching band seated behind the Sailor's bench. The students organized this themselves - students. The team appreciated the band and the band appreciated the players. The crowd got into it. I never forgot it. It made me want to wear Scituate Blue. What about you?

ANCHORS AWEIGH
Music Composed by Lieutenant Charles Zimmerman in 1906
Lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles
Original Lyrics[Verse 1]
Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.
We'll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.
Sail Navy down the field and sink
the Army, sink the Army Grey.
[Verse 2]
Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,
We'll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y.
Full speed ahead,
Navy; Army heave to,
Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the Navy, hoist
the Navy Blue
[Verse 3]
Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God's great sun
Let these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne,
By Severn shore we
learn Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true With honor over, honor
over all.

It is Verse 2 that is most widely sung.
[Verse 1]
Stand Navy out to sea,
Fight our battle cry;
We'll never change our course,
So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out
the TNT,
Anchors Aweigh.
Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to
Davy Jones, hooray!
[Verse 2]
Anchors Aweigh, my boys,
Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through
our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more.
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.
[Verse 3]
Blue of the mighty deep:
Gold of God's great sun.
Let these our colors be
Till all of time be done, done, done, done.
On seven seas we learn
Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage,
service true,
With honor, over honor, over all.
