![]() One of the most popular traditions at Georgia Tech is the Budweiser Song. Granath, the lyrics to Georgia Tech’s Alma Mater, Scion of the Southland are as follows: With music arranged by Frank Roman and words by I.H. I’m a ramblin’ gamblin’ hell of an engineer! Hey! I’d drink to all the good fellows who come from far and near Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar three thousand poundsĪ college bell to put it in and a clapper to stir it around He would yell “To Hell With georgia” like his daddy used to do Oh, if I had a daughter sir, I’d dress her in white and goldĪnd put her on the campus, sir, to cheer on the brave and boldĪnd if I had a son, sir, I’d tell you what he’d do Like all the jolly good fellows I drink my whiskey clear I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineerĪ helluva’, helluva helluva helluva helluva engineer The song has become extremely famous over the years, so much so that Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev sang it together in 1959 at their meeting in Moscow. The first version of the song was written by Michael Greenblatt, the Institute’s first bandmaster, but was re-arranged for the band by his successor, Frank Roman. Having evolved from the folk song “The Sons of the Gamboliers,” the first version of this Georgia Tech fight song became an official fight song in 1905 and first appeared in the Tech’s yearbook – the Blueprint – in 1908. ![]() With the Yellow Jacket’s swarming ‘round! Hey! When the battle is over georgia’s team will be found When we meet her our team is sure to beat herĭown on the old farm there will be no sound Written by Frank Roman, the song pays homage to Tech’s school colors, old gold and white. Originally released in 1919, Up With the White and Gold is one of Georgia Tech’s two fight songs.
