Lyrics
Brand new state, Brand new state
Gonna treat you great
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters
Pasture fer the cattle, Spinach and termayters
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
Refrain
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! Ayipoee ay!
We’re only sayin’ You’re doin’ fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma O. K.
