The songs "From Rugby Road to Vinegar Hill," "Fill Up Your Silver Goblet", and "Glory, Glory to Virginia" are all UVA songs with long lineages. They were performed, in pretty much that order, on a recording of the Virginia Glee Club and UVA Band (Pep Band predecessor) on a late 1940s/early 1950s recording so have been around for at least that long.
Originally seen as humorous, the song today is considered a powerful anti-war song. Except for an initial framing stanza, the song is a monologue by an Irish woman who meets her former lover on the road to Athy, which is located in County Kildare, Ireland. After their illegitimate child was born, the lover ran away and became a soldier.

The ground is named in honor of Ivor Preece (1920–87), who played for and captained Coventry R.F.C. and the England national rugby union team in the 1950s and was president of Broadstreet RUFC. The 46 acres (190,000 m 2 ) allow up to five rugby matches and one football match to be played with two of the rugby pitches floodlit.
This rugby song stays in tune with the standard of one person singing and a chorus following in after. Sometimes one individual will sing the original lines in all the verses instead of changing after each verse. Someone starts singing the song by saying, "I met a whore in the park one day!", then the other individuals say, "Ya ho, ya ho."
