Oregon, My Oregon

Land of the empire builders, land of the golden west;

Conquered and held by free men, fairest and the best;

On-ward, upward ever, forward and on and on;

Hail to thee, land of the heroes, my Oregon.

Land of rose and sunshine, land of summer 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
