Song LyricsStateSong Title
...The scent of the fragrant pines, the tang of the salty sea will call us home...
...The whisper of the forest tree the thunder of the inland sea...
...God, in His great love and wisdom, made the rugged Granite State...
...Blessed from Heaven above.It's the land that we love...
...From yonder Mississippi's stream to where Missouri's waters gleam...
...Eight stars of gold on a field of blue...
...Throw thy bold banner to the breeze! Front with thy ranks the threatening seas...
...'Forward', our motto, God will give thee might...
...Still our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her...
...Roger Williams would be proud to see his colony...
...Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze, and romance in her name...
...For Lexington and Concord and the shot heard 'round the world...
...From thy prairies broad and fertile, where thy snow-white cotton shines...
...Your freeborn single star sends out its radiance to nations near and far...
...Tell me of that Treasure State Story, always new...
...While they were waltzing, my friend stole my sweetheart from me...
...Land of the Empire Builders, land of the Golden West...
...Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber dere's wha de old folks stay...
...Where brave men fought the foe of freedom...
...There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow...
...Pitting Gray against the Blue, there were none more brave than you...
...Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash...
...Kamehameha e, who guarded in the war with his spear...
...At thy call they throng with a shout and song; hailing thee their Northern Star!...
...Cities so grand, mountains above, led to this land I love...
Song LyricsStateSong Title
...With historic towns where battles were fought and presidents made their home...
...Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom...
...May the columbine bloom till our great mountain rivers run dry...
...Dark green valleys cradled in the earth, rain and sunshine bring abundant birth...
...Home of the Montezuma, with fiery hearts aglow...
...In the flowers wild and sweet colors rare and perfumes meet...
...He stuck a feather in his cap, and called it macaroni...
...There isn't another like it no matter where you go...
...With thy prairies wide and free, all thy sons and daughters love thee...
...Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain...
...Other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly...
...There's peace you feel and understand In this, our own beloved land...
...As guardians and landmarks the giant mountains stand...
...Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam...
...She has her Black Hills, and mines with gold so rare...
...If you follow the old Kit Carson trail until desert meets the hills...
...Remember Carroll's sacred trust...
...Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today...
...Let cymbals clash and bells ring cause here's one song I'm proud to sing...
...October morning in the Ozark Mountains,hills ablazing like that sun in the sky...
...With their summits pointed skyward to the Great Almighty's land...
...You make me happy when skies are gray...
...Where the wheat fields break and billow In the peaceful land of Kent...
...These green hills and silver waters are my home. They belong to me...
...Strum, strum, strum, strum, strum, seems I hear those banjos playin' once again...
