    Dear Richwood High
    A song of praise we sing thee,
    Our hearts beat strong with
    Love and reverence too.
    The crimson hue and purest white
    Will guide us.
    Long may they live in hearts that
    Are so true,
    Long may our sons and daughters,
    Voices ring clear,
    We honor thee,
    OUR ALMA MATER DEAR.
