Glory, Glory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glory, Glory is the fight song for the Georgia Bulldogs, the athletics teams for the University of Georgia. Glory, Glory is sung to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and was sung at football games as early as the 1890's. The fight song was arranged in its current form by Hugh Hodgson in 1915.

Glory, glory to old Georgia! Glory, glory to old Georgia! Glory, glory to old Georgia! G-E-O-R-G-I-A. Glory, glory to old Georgia! Glory, glory to old Georgia! Glory, glory to old Georgia! G-E-O-R-G-I-A. |

[edit] Alternate lyrics
Georgia fans often replace the "G-E-O-R-G-I-A" phrase with a disparaging comment about a rival or a particular school that the Bulldogs happen to be playing at the time. One of the most popular alternate lines is "And to hell (or heck) with Georgia Tech!"[1]
Georgia Tech students often mockingly replace the lyrics with the phrase "To hell, to hell, to hell with Georgia!" when the song is played during a game or event.[2]
