How about that hymn to the glories of the state of Illinois that most of us learned from you, Art? Move your family westward and cross at Shawnee Ferry.

Another thought: the text Vance Randolph originally collected to "The Rivers of Texas" generally praises the "sweet Angelina," the "crooked Colorado," etc. Shucks, Art, you sing the Illinois re-write, which may not be traditional, but the Texas text ought to qualify.
