Oh, Carver High, we sing to thee

Of love, devotion ever new.
We'll pledge our loyalty to thee
And triumph o'er what ever may be.
We bless this day within thy walls,
Thy precepts all we'll honor too.
All hail! All hail! To Carver High
To Crimson and Blue, we'll ever be true.

Music and words by Dr. Awilda Coleman Smith
