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, IL - LI - NOIS!
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, IL - LI - NOIS!
Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois,
On the record of thy years,
Abra 'am Lincoln's name appears, Grant, and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois,
Grant, and Logan, and our tears, IL - LI - NOIS !
