Minnesota Song 

Tune --- "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" 

From our hearts with sweet content, under skies with beauty bent, 

Of our good North Star we're singing, glad and free; 

And our music swells along on the breezes pure and strong, 

Flowing from the hills and lakes and inland sea. 

Chorus 

Hail, all hail to Minnesota! 

Star of patriots, proud and free! 

With thy wealth of wheat and pine, 

Cities great and iron mine, 

Limpid lakes and rivers running to the sea. 

From old Europe's thrall released, from our sisters of the East, 

And from Canada, "Our Lady of the Snows" 

Came the stalwart pioneer, bearing health and hope and cheer, 

Clearing forest, plain and stream with sturdy blows. 

Chorus 

With the nation's weal in doubt, council's hour and battle rout 

Bear the stamp of Minnesota's brain and brawn. 

And while nations shall endure, with the hearts of freemen pure 

Press we on for truth and freedom's brightest dawn. 

Chorus
