Wade Hampton
 
 
   
 
Local radio personalities produced this song in honor of the WHHS Class of '71 20th Reunion

to the tune of

"Snoopy and the Red Baron"
Lyrics by Love & Hudson - My 102 FM

(2 Measures)
After the end of the sixth decade In the northwest corner of the Palmetto State Came a roar and a thunder from the crowd they say For the brave young men of the Red and Gray
 

When we came back for 71 There was PRIDE in the air for everyone From the Band to the Pep Club to the faculty Of the Wade Hampton Generals of 70  

(Refrain)
10, 20 30, 40, 50 or More Mighty Wade Hampton was rolling up the score Many a team tried to end that spree Of the Wade Hampton Generals in 70  


(1 Measure)
After nine games Wade Hampton was King
We were number 1, we had everything But then it happened, our worst fears came true With just four minutes left our reign was through  

(Refrain)

10, 20 30, 40, 50 or More Mighty Wade Hampton was rolling up the score Many a team tried to end that spree Of the Wade Hampton Generals in 70  

(3 Measure)
After the loss everybody was stunned Our team was not first, we were like everyone But after some time it became so clear It was PRIDE not the winning that made us all cheer  

(Music)  
(1 Measure + 3 Beats Past Key Change)

It’s been 20 long years since that fateful day And we’ve all grown up in different ways But the PRIDE that we learned back in 71 Is still with us at our Reunion   (Repeat Refrain 2x)
