Lyrics
Where do roses bloom 'neath the mountain?
Fir trees climb the sky?
Where is the air the freshest,
Soft as a lullaby?
Where does everything grow the greenest?
Lakes lie blue in the sun?
Where do the mightly Columbia
And the Rogue River run?
OREGON, O OREGON,
Where the wild el k still roam,
I've wandered the wide world over;
No place compares with home.
Where's the tide recede half a mile,
Uncovering the bed of the sea,
Then turn and in a roar of breakers
Roll in foamy, free?
OREGON, O OREGON
Where the wild el k still roam,
I've wandered the wide world over,
No place compares with home,
My home, no place compares with
My OREGON home.
