Alma Mater Lyrics by The Chad Mitchell Trio

The Best of the Chad Mitchell Trio (The Mercury Years)

0

[Intro]
(Like many other groups
The Chad Mitchell Trio was formed when we were still in college
And we found that too often we forget
As many young college men and women seem to do
All of the rich and wonderful experiences
That could help prepare us for the responsibilities of life)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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, Ole Miss

[Bridge]
We bow our heads, and give thee thanks
We'll ne'er forget, alas
Those teargas raids, ye 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 Ole Miss

[Verse 3]
We'll miss the cafeteria
That's crawling in listeria
We'll miss the classrooms where we learned
And effigies we burned

[Verse 4]
My girl was only seventeen
When she was chosen riot queen
These memories we'll ne'er forget
God bless thee, Ross Barnett

[Outro]
We're going to miss Ole Miss
Glory, glory, what a heckuva time we had
We're going to miss Ole Miss
