From far eastern shores to her western coast, Of the wealth she unfolds, we have reason to boast; Her mountains and lakes are tourists’ retreats, For miles her broad prairies are laden with wheat. Our long southern border, from sea unto sea, No soldiers to guard our boundary have we; Goodwill to our neighbors, we love every one, In dealing with them, their respect we have won. Three cheers for our country! the land we all love, May our rulers be guided with peace from above; With love to all men, may she prosper in wealth, With this thought in mind let us drink to her health. in stripes of Red, Brown & Orange, Navy, Yellow and Lt.
