According to a friend who is in her 80s and is a native of Polk County, Florida, this song was sung by her and classmates as early as when she was in fourth grade. That means that it goes back into the 1930s. It follows that whoever wrote the florida words for school kids has got to be VERY old now. Is most probably deceased.
    The song Where the Morning Glories Grow is from a Broadway play of 1917. The Lyrics were written by by Raymond Eagan and the great Gus Kahn, and the music by Richard Whiting (father of Margaret Whiting).
   Making this the Florida song could be an embarassment when all the history unfolds.
