and now for the anthem:

wp:I Love You, California

wc:File:“I Love You, California”, by Knickerbocker Quartet and Elizabeth Spencer (cusb-cyl5053d).oga

I.

I love you, California, you’re the greatest state of all.

I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall.

I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore.

I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.

​

Chorus

When the snow crowned Golden Sierras

Keep their watch o’er the valleys bloom,

It is there I would be in our land by the sea,

Every breeze bearing rich perfume.

It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me,

And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh

For my sunny California.
