Roll along, Iowa, Roll down the field,
On to victory!
Roll along, Iowa, Don’t ever yield,
Always a winner be!
Get that ball, Give your all,
For dear Old Gold,
Raise her banner high!
With firm endeavor,
Roll on forever, U of I.*
Until 1964 (officially, Oct. 22, 1964), the name of the university in the lyrics was "S. U. I." referring to the State University of Iowa. Thereafter, the university's name was changed to the University of Iowa, and more commonly known as "U. of I.," resulting in a slight change to the lyrics.
