Here’s the Joe Paterno Tribute Song by Joey Welz, with the lyrics below.

Listen: Joe Paterno Tribute Song

The evil that was told to him he hardly understood

He reported it to his superiors like he knew he should

What happened after that he really never knew

You don’t tell your superiors what to do

Years later it all came back that he was given the blame

for not doing something more, and he was put to shame

Instead of going out with honor that his good name had earned

For years of service and giving, his image they tried to burn

How could he be wrong, when he tried to do what was right?

God judged him with mercy. Now he lives in God’s delight (All right!)

The records may state that cancer tore his body apart

But through it all he remained stalwart, and he died of a broken heart

[Breakdown]

No trustees can destroy all that for years he created

Not just winning teams, but young men who graduated

Yeah, he was the people’s coach, and the people will not stand

for the slandering of one of the best coaches in the land.

Rest in peace, Joe Paterno. Your good name is still intact

Nothing can destroy your image. We won’t let it, that’s a fact

He was the people’s coach, and the people will not stand

for the slandering of one of the best coaches in the land
