Far above Cayuga's waters,
There's an awful smell,
Some say it's Cayuga's waters,
Others say Cornell!

In the heart of dear old Emory,
Where the sun doth shine,
That is where our hearts are turning,
Round old Emory's shrine.

This song make me feel nostalgic.
And I didn't even go to Cornell.

The original song is actually "Annie Lisle" which I believe was a popular ballad in the 1860's. Cornell then changed the lyrics and used it as their alma mater, then many other universities followed suit including my school, Indiana State. :) It's just a beautiful, and popular piece of music that will never go away or die nor should it.

the song is also the same with our school hymn..

@mabeltan1992 at least 40 different universities, most notebly, UNC's, "Hark the Sound"
@mabeltan1992 It's the most copied school song, but it was Cornell's first

Check wikipedia for "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" and you will be disappointed to find the answer. :-/
