State Song of Oklahoma - Oklahoma

The state song of Oklahoma, The Sooner State.
Lyrics in English:
They couldn’t pick a better time to start in life
It ain’t too early and it ain’t too late
Startin’ as a farmer with a brand new wife
Soon be livin’ in a brand new state!
Brand new state, gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle, Spinach and Temayters!
Flowers on the prairie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen’y of air and plen’y of room,
Plen’y of room to swing a rope!
Plen’y of heart and plen’y of hope.
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain,
And the wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, ev’ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin’ lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say-Yeeow! A-yip-i-o-ee ay!
We’re only sayin’ You’re doin’ fine, Oklahoma! Oklahoma-O.K.

The state song of Oklahoma, written in Manhattan by a pair of native New Yorkers who had never actually been to Oklahoma. But we Oklahomans don't care because we love our song.

Oklahoma's actually some of the richest countries people say that all through the worst but it's actually opposite if Oklahoma and Texas made it alliance the could take all of the US

Multiply this by ten and you get what it is like now that Jeff Lowe seems to have abandoned the entire state of Oklahoma!

I know see how Oklahoma gets people to live there

[@user-tt9kb1oz6l]

I disagree with much of what Oklahoma supports politically but the state knocked it out of the ballpark by choosing "Oklahoma" as its state song. Kudos!

[@americancowboyfromwyoming6720]

Has some of the best politics in the country 👌

[@americancowboyfromwyoming6720]

Used to live there before I moved to Wyoming

[@user-tt9kb1oz6l]

Can you make anthem of 22 Republics of Russia

[@jurassicsight]

Colorado is better than Oklahoma. Oklahoma is hell for me. Not because of tornadoes. There are more racist people than hippies in Oklahoma. The state also hates Jews. I am a Jew and I am completely offended by the state of Oklahoma. I was born in Colorado and still live in Colorado to this day.
