Subject: RE: No regional songs of the northern US ??
Well, my Grandma Flora wrote a song for Colorado, "Land of Heart's Delight" sung to the tune of "Beulah Land." The refrain follows:
O, fairest land, my native strand, Thy lofty peaks inspire me Fresh courage for life's troubled sea, And in majestic lanscapes view A work in life for me to do-- My Colorado, grand and true! (Last line, last time ends with "My Colorado, I love you.)
