Home, Sweet Oklahoma |
| Down by the Canadian River early one morning in spring |
| I wondered what I might give her to go with a gold wedding ring |
| The land that my granddaddy fought for |
| The land where my two parents lie |
| A piece of my sweet Oklahoma |
| A home for my sweetheart and I |
| Here in home sweet Oklahoma how sweet it can be |
| And home sweet Oklahoma is a home sweet home to me |
| Granddaddy came down from Kansas back in those Cimmaron days |
| He met my Grandma in Guthrie and gave up his roustabout ways |
| He bought him some land by the river |
| Raised him some cattle and corn |
| Built him a house in the cottonwood grove |
| And that’s where my daddy was born |
| Here in home sweet Oklahoma how sweet it can be |
| And home sweet Oklahoma is a home sweet home to me |
| Now I wake up after midnight and quietly slip from my bed |
| I go out and stand in the meadow and gaze at the stars overhead |
| The moon is high in the heavens |
| So bright that the stars disappear |
| I thank God for my sleeping family |
| I thank God for putting me here |
| Here in home sweet Oklahoma how sweet it can be |
| And home sweet Oklahoma is a home sweet home to me |
