School song[]
(Author not known)
A first year lad knocks at the door
His eye is clear and bright
With eager heart to play his part
With all his main and might
To do his best when hardly pressed
Resolving I must try.
CHORUS
To add fresh fame unto her name
And honor Tamworth High
And honor Tamworth High
We greet our rivals with a cheer, the fight be ever fair,
A lusty band we firmly stand, success our only care.
We will all be true to the black and blue,
So let the banner fly.
CHORUS
To add fresh fame unto her name
And honor Tamworth High
And honor Tamworth High
The years roll by and all too soon
The school is left behind
And in the strife of worldly life
Our hopes may all prove blind
But the place we've earned and the code we've learned
Will not fail us if we try.
CHORUS
To add fresh fame unto her name
And honor Tamworth High
And honor Tamworth High.
