I am looking for the title, etc of a song-perhaps of WWII vintage- that contains the following: I was born in Kansas I was bred in Kansas And when I get Married, I'll be wed in Kansas She's my true true gal, the flower of my heart...She's my Sunflower She's my one flower She's the flower of my heart etc, etc.

hmmm...there's a line.."There's a true, blue gal, who promised she would wait..she's my sunflower, from the Sunflower state"....

I ought to know this...spent 30 years in Wichita....heard it since the 6th grade...*goes off pondering...maybe it will come back*

SUNFLOWER
As sung by Dean Martin on "The Rat Pack" (Delta Distribution, 2002)

1. I was born in Texas; I was bred in Kansas.
When I get married, I'll be wed in Kansas.
There's a true-blue gal who promised she would wait.
She's a sunflower from the sunflower state.

CHORUS: She's a sunflower.
She's my sunflower,
And I know we'll never part.
She's a sunflower.
She's my one flower.
She's the flower of my heart.

2. It was fair in Kansas; clouds are rare in Kansas.
Never saw a place that could compare with Kansas.
So I'm goin' home to keep a weddin' day
With a sunflower from the sunflower state. CHORUS
