ILLINOIS State Song adopted in 1925
“ILLINOIS”
Words by C.H. Chamberlain
Music by Archibald Johnston
Vocal/version by The Xtension Chords
By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois
By thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois
Comes an echo on the breeze
Rustling through the leafy trees
And its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois
And its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois
Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois
Can be writ the nation’s glory, Illinois, Illinois
On the record of thy years
Abraham Lincoln’s name appears
Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois
Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois …
