I still don't like the Hannah doll thing...and one of our songs goes: I'm Delta Gam born and Delta Gam bred and when I die I'll be Delta Gam dead..really???

Is this a common song? URI uses this as our fight song as well, except replace Delta Gam with Rhode Island.

The song is originally "Boola Boola", written in 1905. The UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA combined the music and changed the words from the UNC fight song "I'm a Tarheel Born" to fit the music and make it their own.

So, when you sing this song, it's OU's fight song:
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, OK U!

Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, OK U!

I'm a Sooner born and Sooner bred
and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma
Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

I have a feeling its a take off of the second verse of "Boomer Sooner", or from "I'm a Tar Heel Born", which Oklahoma stole from North Carolina. Both of them use those words.

I still don't get it in either one of them.

ETA: And Rhode Island, apparently!
