"Oregon, My Oregon": Full Lyrics to the State Song

Oregon, My Oregon

For I'm bound for your rivers
And mighty hills and valleys
And towering timber, towering timber

I've roamed and gambled on a hundred hillsides
I've searched for gold in a thousand streams
I've swam and fished in your crystal waters
And dreamed of love in your quiet dreams

Oregon, my Oregon
For your heart is true and tender
I come to you with weary feet
Oregon, my Oregon

Through the years I've longed for you
And when I'm sleepin' I can hear you call
Oregon, my Oregon
This old cowboy has returned at last
Oregon, my Oregon
