Booker Washington Institute

By Bertha A. Corbin

 

O dear Booker T, we sing thy praises

And honor the name that we love,

Thy standards of life we always cherish

And work for your interest and good.

 

REFRAIN

 O yes we love dear BWI

And sing of her greatness to others

We honor thee and this the reason why,

Thou are our Alma Mater.

 

O dear Booker T, we love thy teachings,

And pray and hope for years to come,

Thy progress and power for ever leading,

May carry the lights to our homes.

 

REPEAT REFRAIN

 

Someday when our school life is over,

And we gather to say to all good-bye,

We'll dream of the hours we've been together

And days spent at BWI

 

REPEAT REFRAIN
