We're a grand ole team
We're the best ever seen
And the colors we fight for are grand.
We're the emblem of,
The school we love,
Our school is the best in the land.
Every heart beats true
For the gold and the blue
And may victory always be ours
Our grand high school must never lose
So we'll cheer on to victory.
Emily was playing with "Gutrid" (formally known as Gertrude Jr.) one morning and she was dressing her in the goose's patriotic outfit, so we decided to get on line and learn some patriotic songs. As it turns out, Dixie was Emily's favorite. The tune is so catchy that it made me think that with differnt words, we could sing it on the bus. So in the space below, you will find the original words to Dixie and my rewritten words to Devil Land.
Click here to go to a website to learn the tune and history behind the song Dixie. You may be surprised to learn that it was actually written by a Northerner, and later adopted by the south as a theme song.
Oh, I'm glad I was born in old Northampton,
Good teams there are not forgotten,
Play-ay hard, play-ay hard, play-ay hard Devil Land.
In Devil Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Play-ay hard, play-ay hard, play-ay hard Devil Land.
I'm glad I am a Devil, Hooray! Hooray!
In Devil Land I'll take my stand
to live and die a Devil.
Play-ay hard, play-ay hard, play-ay hard as a Blue Devil.
Play-ay hard, play-ay hard, play-ay hard as aaaaaaaa Blue Devil.

Here's the story,
of a team of ladies,
who were playing lacrosse for NHS.
All of them wore blue and gold,
those were the colors,
it scared the other girls.
Here's the story,
of two awesome coaches,
who were busy with school work of their own.
They were two friends, coaching here together,
but they were not alone.
Til the one day when the ladies met the coaches,
and they knew they was much more than a hunch,
that this group,
must somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Devil Bunch.
The Devil Bunch-The devil bunch.
That's the way that we became the Devil Bunch.
