Official State Children's Song of Oklahoma
"Oklahoma, My Native Land" by Martha Kemm Barrett was designated the official state children's song of Oklahoma in 1996. All Oklahoma Songs - All State Songs
The lyrics to "Oklahoma, My Native Land" make reference to the state bird (scissortail flycatcher), the state floral emblem (mistletoe), the state tree (redbud), and to Oklahoma's Native American roots (five Indian Nations are represented on the state seal).
Lyrics to "Oklahoma, My Native Land"
As I travel the roads of America,
such wonderful sights I can see.
But nothing compares to the place I love;
The perfect home for you and for me.
Yes, Oklahoma, my native land.
I am proud to say your future's looking grand.
Yes, Oklahoma, such history.
Ev'ry day you give a gift just for me.
I see a Scissortail Flycatcher
cut through the clean air
as mistletoe kisses the branches ev'rywhere.
Redbuds open ev'ry single spring.
I hear a Pow Wow beat the rhythm of the old ways
as oil wells pump back mem'ries of the boom days.
Only Oklahoma has these things.
Yes, Oklahoma, my native land.
I am proud to say your future's looking grand.
Yes, Oklahoma, such history.
Ev'ry day you give a gift just for me.
Perfect home for you.
The perfect home for me.
It's only Oklahoma for me.
