Jack Horntip Lyr Add: Mimi the College Widow (6) RE: Lyr Add: MIMI THE COLLEGE WIDOW 16 Jun 20


I love a Chi O, I always will,
Because a ChiO always will.
When I was younger and just a child,
A little Chi O drove me wild;
They call her Mimi, the college widow,
Queen of the university.
She laid the cornerstone of knowledge;
In fact she laid the whole damn college.
Hey, look at Mimi a-stranding by the door;
The call her Mimi, the college....widow!

Sung by Jean Fox and Corol Adams of the Chi Omega sorority at Indiana University on March 14, 1964. They indicated that this version was sung by Chi Omega girls all over the state in Indiana. The tune is different than in the previous two recordings. See pg 133 of Richard Reuss An Annotated Field Collection of Songs from the American College Student Oral Tradition
