This is My Land

This is my land – my America.
This is my home so dear to me.
My Uncle Sam made America
A mighty land where folks are free.
It’s a land of plains and forests.
It’s a land of mountains high.
It’s a land of great big cities
Where skyscrapers kiss the sky.

Over all our flag is flying,
Bright its red and white and blue.
Every state is represented.
There’s a star for me and you.
This is my land – my America.
This is my home so dear to me.
This is my pledge to America –
Protect our land and keep it free.

Kansas, Utah, and Nebraska
Grow fine wheat and tall corn too.
California, Arizona
Send their oranges straight to you.
Way down South is Alabama
Where the cotton grows so white.
Further on is Louisiana.
There is sugar-cane’s just right.
This is my land – my America . . .

Search for gold with mules and spades.

Rich the soil for farming there.

Also true of Delaware.
