Ramblin' Wreck From Georgia Tech

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech is Georgia Tech's fight song. The composition is based on Son of a Gambolier by Charles Ives (1895), and the lyrics are based on an old English and Scottish drinking song of the same name. Ramblin' Wreck is played after every Georgia Tech score (directly after a field goal/safety and preceded by Up With the White and Gold after a touchdown) in a football game, and frequently during timeouts at basketball games. The title refers to the Ramblin' Wreck, one of Tech's mascots and a nickname for Tech students.
