World renown you do command, Illinois, Illinois, :World renown you do command, Illinois. :From a wilderness of prairies, Illinois, Illinois, :Straight thy way and never varies, Illinois, Illinois, :Till upon the inland sea, :Stands thy great commercial tree, turning all the world to thee, Illinois, Illinois, :Turning all the world to thee, Illinois. :When you heard your country calling, Illinois, Illinois, :Where the shot and shell were falling, Illinois, Illinois, :When the Southern host withdrew, :Pitting Gray against the Blue, there were none more brave than you, Illinois, Illinois, :There were none more brave than you, Illinois. :Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, :Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois, :On the record of thy years, :Abraham Lincoln's name appears, Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois, :Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois. :Let us pledge in final chorus, Illinois, Illinois :That in struggles still before us, Illinois, Illinois :To our heroes we'll be true, :As their vision we pursue. In abiding love for you, Illinois, Illinois. :In abiding love for you, Illinois. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illinois (state song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
