Richmond College Anthem
Performed by the Richmond College Choir
Play up boys of Richmond all as one unite
Battle ever for the right and with all your might
Never mind a knock or two never fear the fight
Get upon your feet again for Richmond’s honour bright
CHORUS…..
Richmond, for ever boys, let the air resound,
Richmond to the fore boys, let the cry go round
Dear to us is Richmond’s honour, we will never say die
All for Richmond, none for self, shall be ever our cry
Richmond expects that you will ever play the game
In the field or in the hall honour Richmond’s name
Richmond stands for manliness and for honour bright
Be a man and honour Richmond by upholding right
Richmond’s dear memory cherish when you men become
In the greater field of life strive to overcome
Fight against all wrong and evil and you shall not fail
Remembering Richmond’s motto you will ever prevail
