"Oregon, My Oregon"
Words by J.A. Buchanan

Adopted in 1927.
Sheet Music | MIDI
Land of the Empire Builders, Land of the Golden West;
Conquered and held by free men, Fairest and the best.
On-ward and upward ever, Forward and on, and on;
Hail to thee, Land of the Heroes, My Oregon.
Land of the rose and sunshine, Land of the summer's breeze;
Laden with health and vigor, Fresh from the western seas.
Blest by the blood of martyrs, Land of the setting sun;
Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon.
Origin of Song:
“Oregon, My Oregon” was written in 1920 by J.A. Buchanan of Astoria and Henry B. Murtagh of Portland. With this song, Buchanan and Murtagh won a statewide competition, sponsored by the Society of Oregon Composers, and became popular in Oregon, and subsequently Oregon's official state song in 1927.
