Alma Mater

歌詞

[Spoken] The Mitchell Trio had its beginning when we were still in College, and we found that in traveling throughout the Country, and singing for groups just such as this one, that too often we forget, as many young college men and women seem to be doing nowadays, all of the rich and wonderful experiences of college life that could help prepare us for the responsibilities of our future Bright college years, we sing to thee The golden years that quickly flee Oh, shining moments of our youth Where we can seek the truth May what we learn midst toil and strife Direct our footsteps throughout life No man can ask for more than this We sing to thee, Ol' Miss We bow our heads, and give thee thanks We'll ne'er forget, alas Those teargas raids, the army tanks Those riots after class The National Guard, the barricades Where we shared our first kiss The senior prom, the hand grenades We're going to miss Ol' Miss We'll miss the cafeteria That's crawling in wisteria We'll miss the classrooms where we learned And effigies we burned My girl was only seventeen When she was chosen riot queen These memories we'll ne'er forget God bless thee Ross Barnett We're going to miss Ol' Miss Glory, glory, what a helluva time we had We're going to miss Ol' Miss
