Oregon, My Oregon
Written by J.A. Buchanan and Henry B. Murtahg
Land of the empire builders, land of the golden west;
Conquered and held by free men, fairest and the best.
Onward and upward ever, forward and on and on;
Hail to thee, land of Heros, my Oregon.
Land of the rose and sunshine, land of the summer's breeze;
Laden with health and vigor, fresh from the Western seas.
Blest by the blood of martyrs, land of the setting sun;
Hail to thee, land of Promise, my Oregon.
