Lyrics

Alma Mater

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
