Thread Name: College songs - folk or not?
Subject: RE: College songs - folk or not?
Keeping to the original post, these are only drinking songs from U.N.M. Their tradition is long and deep - I doubt that a couple holy-holies will temper the spirit.

SONGS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO

1905 – p. 17. compiled by W.G. Tight

BINGO

Here's to U.N.M. drink it down, drink it down;
Here's to U.N.M. drink it down, drink it down;
Here's to U.N.M. She's our college, she's a gem
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, down, down.

Balm of gil-e-ad, Gil-e-ad, Balm of Gil-e-ad,
Balm of Gil-e-ad, Way down on the Bingo farm.
We won't go there an-y more, We won't go there any-y more.
We won't go there an-y more,
Way down on the Bingo farm. Bin-go Bin-go
Bin-go, Bin-go, Bin-go, Bin-go Way down on the Bingo farm.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

I too was in a maverick band - what a grand time!!
