[sv02]

yep. it's from sept 06 (big sing)

[someonespadre]

My Father taught us this song to sing together on road trips back in the 60s and 70s (Mom, Dad and 5 children).  He graduated from Cal with a BSCE in 1952.

@GoStE

This is the singing intro. "The Steward went below..." is the speaking intro.

[GoStE]

What happened to "the steward went below...shhh, to light the captain's lamp..?" I guess i learned a different version.

@dzstroke015 orinda fucking sucks!

[marshawnfan]

orinda? tight what year at miramonte

[dzstroke015]

So cool! I grew up in Orinda and learned the Cal Drinking Song in Boy Scouts. I had no idea of its significance until after I was accepted to Cal. Great song for Boy Scouts, eh? "For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near."
