Lyrics

We shall conquer, growing stronger,

Gonna show what we can do,

Another season, you're the reason,

We can make some dreams come true.


Give a cheer to the man who led the cavalry,

Going up to the top where we belong...


We'll have 'em rocking, take some stopping,

Now the Blues are on the ball, (back on the ball, back on the ball).


We'll have 'em reeling, got a feeling,

Now that we're back on the ball, (back on the ball, back on the ball).


Sing together, blues forever,

Got the Bridge to cheer us on,

We'll be gunnin', keep them runnin',

Now those bad old days are gone. 


Give a cheer to the man who led the cavalry,

Going up to the top where we belong...


We'll have 'em rocking, take some stopping,

Now the Blues are on the ball, (back on the ball, back on the ball).


We'll have 'em reeling, got a feeling,

Now that we're back on the ball, (back on the ball, back on the ball).
