Re: Fight for all D.C?

OMG. I think Larry Micheals explains it pretty good.

A fan asked if the wording in the "Hail to the Redskins" song is "Fight for all DC", "Fight for old DC", or "Fight for ole DC."

I thought Larry said it originally was "Fight for old Dixie" but was changed to "Fight for ole DC." The fan said he would prefer "Fight for all DC."

Personally I thought it always was "Fight for ole DC." This is how I sing the song. In any nutshell it's pretty bad we are so bored we are left talking about one word in a fight song. lol. When I first heard the question I thought who the "F" cares. But for whatever reason it keep rearing it's ugly head.

Here's the reference more into why it changed over the yrs.
Hail to the Redskins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TheHogs.net has these two versions both old and new version.
Washington Redskins' Fight Song - Hail to the Redskins

This from Redskins.com;
Redskins Marching Band

Fight Song

Hail to the
Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the warpath,
Fight for old D.C.!

Run or pass and score
We want a lot more!
Beat ’em Swamp ’em Touchdown
Let the points soar!

Fight on, Fight on,
Til you have won,
Sons of Wash-ing-ton!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
So apparently I've been singing it wrong, but "ole" and "old" basically are the same thing. It's just one is more of a southern word.
