Lyrics
When twilight shadows deepen
And the study hour draws nigh
When shades of night are falling
And the even'ng breezes sigh
'Tis then we love to gather
'Neath the pale moon's silv'ry spell
And lift our hearts and voices
In the songs we love so well
Sons of old Massachusetts
Devoted daughters true
Bay State, ol' Bay State
We give our best to you
Thee our alma mater
We'll cherish for all time
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Massachusetts, yours and mine
