Lyrics
Come a-runnin' boys
Don't you hear the noise
Like the thunder in the sky
How it rolls along
In a good old song
From the sons of Nebraska
Now it's comin' near
With a risin' cheer
That'll sweep all foes away
So with all our vim
We were bound to win
And we're goin' to win today
In the days of old
Johnny Bender bold
Would just take that ball in hand
And with Benedict
Right in front of him
They would set sail for the land
Then Doc Eager too
With a chosen few
Would be all 'round everywhere
And before they'd quit
They would calmly sit
Down behind that goal post there
For Nebraska and the scarlet
For Nebraska and the cream
Though they go through many battles
Our colors still are seen
And so in contest and in victory
We will wave them for the team
And we'll always stir a Cornhusker
The scarlet and the cream
When the sun is bright
And the fields are ripe
With the tassel on the corn
You can hear it grow
In the evening glow
Or the hush of early morn
In the state so fair
'Tis the very air
That inspires us with a zest
That in any fray
We will not dismay
But we'll do our level best
For Nebraska and the scarlet
For Nebraska and the cream
Though they go through many battles
Our colors still are seen
And so in contest and in victory
We will wave them for the team
And we'll always stir a Cornhusker
The scarlet and the cream
The scarlet and the cream
The scarlet and the cream
