DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN
(Delta Upsilon Song)
Words by Alfred Joyce Kilmer, Columbia, '08
(Old English Air)
Come, brothers all, your glasses fill,
And drink this health with right good-will;
For here's a toast both brave and true,
Our own beloved Delta U!
And drink this health with right good-will;
For here's a toast both brave and true,
Our own beloved Delta U!
Chorus
And he that will this health deny,
Down among the dead men,
Down among the dead men,
Down, down, down, down,
Down among the dead men,
Let him lie.
Down among the dead men,
Down among the dead men,
Down, down, down, down,
Down among the dead men,
Let him lie.
Now, here's to all throughout the land,
Who in our ranks fraternal stand;
Whose aims are high, whose hearts beat true,
Beneath the royal Gold and Blue!
Who in our ranks fraternal stand;
Whose aims are high, whose hearts beat true,
Beneath the royal Gold and Blue!
And here's a health to ladies fair,
Who faithfully our colours wear;
May every blessing wait upon
The girls of Delta Upsilon!
Who faithfully our colours wear;
May every blessing wait upon
The girls of Delta Upsilon!
Now, brothers, here is one toast more,
The Delta U's of “Thirty-four,”
Who firm in truth and equity
Established our Fraternity.
The Delta U's of “Thirty-four,”
Who firm in truth and equity
Established our Fraternity.
