"And here we have Idaho
Winning her way to fame
Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze
And romance lies in her name
Singing, we’re singing of you
Ah, proudly too
All our lives thru
We’ll go singing, singing of you
Singing of Idaho".

First verse–"You’ve heard of the wonders our land does possess
Its beautiful valleys and hills
The majestic forests where nature abounds
We love every nook and rill."

Where ideals can be realized
The pioneers made it so for you and me
A legacy we’ll always prize."
