Not what I would call 'prize-winning'

The Oregon State Song:

Oregon, My Oregon
Words by J.A. Buchanan
Music by Henry B. Murtagh


Land of the Empire Builders, Land of the Golden West;
Conquered and held by free men, Fairest and the best.
On-ward and upward ever, Forward and on, and on;
Hail to thee, Land of the Heroes, My Oregon.

Land of the rose and sunshine, Land of the summer's breeze;
Laden with health and vigor, Fresh from the western seas.
Blest by the blood of martyrs, Land of the setting sun;
Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon.


What a racist, sexist imperialistic pile of crap.
