"The Scotsman" | Missouri State University Primary Fight Song

Описание: Here is the current, primary fight song of the Bears of Missouri State University. Adopted in the 1960s, this is "The Scotsman".

The melody of this fight song is based on another fight song, most likely known as the one used by Utah State University, with the same name, albeit with different lyrics. While the Utah State Aggies' had their song, it wasn't the original. In fact, Ohio Wesleyan and Dakota Wesleyan University had their own, similar versions (which I might post one day in the future). However, the actual origin of the melody is unknown and possibly lost to history.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the source of the one who wrote the lyrics to this particular fight song. (If anyone knows and has any proof, please let me know. Thank you in advance. ^^)

This fight song went through a lyrical change after the university changed their name from "Southwest Missouri State" to the current name of "Missouri State". This version is the current version, used since 2005.

For the version between the 1960s and 2005, you may see the video here.

LYRICS:
Uphold tradition, our school we hold so dear,
We will be loyal, throughout our college years,
Fight for victory, while we stand up and cheer,
Let's hear it for the Bears:
B! E! A! R! S! Bears!
