"Anchors Aweigh" is the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and unofficial march song of the United States Navy. It was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. When he composed "Anchors Aweigh", Zimmermann was a lieutenant and had been bandmaster of the United States Naval Academy Band since 1887. Miles was midshipman first class at the academy, in the class of 1907, and had asked Zimmermann to assist him in composing a song for that class, to be used as a football march. Another academy midshipman, Royal Lovell (class of 1926), later wrote what would be adopted into the song as its third verse.

"Anchors Aweigh" (1906 version), which is still used today at the Naval Academy.[9]

 

Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky;

We'll never change our course, So Army you steer shy-y-y-y.

Roll up the score, Navy, anchors aweigh!

Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army grey!

 

Get under way Navy, decks cleared for the fray;

We'll hoist true Navy Blue, So Army down your grey-y-y-y;

Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to;

Furl Black and Grey and Gold, and hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue!

 

Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God's Great Sun

Let these our colors be till all of time be done, done, done,

By Severn's shore we learn Navy's stern call:

Faith, Courage, Service true, with Honor, Over Honor, Over All.

 

Revised Lyrics of 1926 by George D. Lottman:

 

Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry;

We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.

Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory

And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

 

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.

Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,

Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

 

Revised Lyrics of 1997 by MCPON John Hagan, USN (Ret) which is used today by the Navy:

 

Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!

We'll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!

Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!

Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

 

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!

Farewell to foreign Shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay;

Through our last night ashore, drink to the foam,

Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

 

Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great sun;

Let these our colors be, Till All of time be done-n-n-ne;

On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:

Faith, courage, service true, With honor over, honor over all.
