- Orediggers have the best fight song in all of college. Since the 1870s, Orediggers have been shaking their fists at Boulder and celebrating what it means to be a helluva helluva helluva helluva helluva engineer! (And yes, we were using this fight song before the other ramblin' wrecks 🐝)

What's crazy is Mines had this before Georgia Tech lol
The full original version is even more kickass!
I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar three hundred pounds,
The college bell to mix it in and clapper to stir it round.
Like every honest fellow, I take my whisky clear,
I'm a rambling wreck from Golden Tech, a helluva engineer.
And if I had a daughter, I'd dress her up in green,
I'd send her up to Boulder to Coach the football team,
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do,
He'd yell "To hell with Boulder," like his daddy used to do.
Now here we have the mining man, in either hand a gun.
He's not afraid of anything, and he's never known to run.
He dearly loves his whisky, and he dearly loves his beer,
He's a shooting, fighting, dynamiting mining engineer.
If you want to gear the planets that revolve around the sun,
We'll do the job up nicely, and we'll only call it fun,
And if you want a bridge to Mars, or a ten-foot shaft to hell,
We're the engineers of a thousand years and we'll do the job right well.
The Miner's "M", a symbol of a brand of mining men,
Whose courage knocks the mountains down and builds them up again,
No matter in this paydirt world orediggers choose to roam,
Mines is always with them, The "M" still stands for home.
Yall copied Georgia tech 💀
@@techgrad03 Incorrect! Georgia tech copied Mines. We first used the song in the 1870s, Georgia tech didn't adopt it until 1908.
@@teamcybr8375 but they are a small college and copied a big college

I'm a ramblin' wreck from Rapid Tech and a helluva engineer.
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, engineer.
Like all my jolly good fellows,
I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a ramblin' wreck from Rapid Tech and a helluva engineer. HEY!

Amazing career! My son starts at Colorado School of Mines this fall and I am hopeful he can follow in your footsteps!
I am completely confused about these lyrics. Why do they mention GT?
THey dont. Golden is the city in Colorado that hosts the School of Mines :)
LOL
50% Georgia Tech 15% Ohio State 35% the rest
School Of Mines had it first >> In 1879, The Colorado School of Mining, began using a version of the song for its fight song, calling it “The Mining Engineer”
• The first arrangement of the song as "The Ramblin' Wreck" at Georgia Tech is attributed to Mike Greenblatt, the first official band leader, at Tech, in 1910.
