Minnesota March Song

Words by Chas. Emrich
Music by Henry Nordlin

Fair Minnesota bright star of the north,
Hear every voice your praises ring forth,
Sing of your valleys, woodlands and hills,
Beautiful lakes and murmuring rills.

Bright of stars in two core e'en more
You, we admire and you we adore
There men are strong and maidens are fair,
There life's worth living and there is where:

Chorus.
The father of the waters
Stops on high might way
With charming Minnehaha
To woo and laugh and play.
No matter where we linger
No matter where we roam
Our thoughts will be in Minnesota
Our home, sweet, home.

Fair gleams the moon upon the waters breast,
Softly the nightwind sings all to rest.
Then come the starts in their splendor bright
Filling with glory the balmy night.

Where Hiawatha told his sweet tale
To Minnehaha, the Indian maid,
There let us linger there life is fair,
In Minnesota and there is where:

Chorus.
