ILLINOIS SONG
BY THY RIVERS GENTLY FLOWING
SOLO OR UNISON CHORUS
WALTER HOWE JONES
By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois, O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois, Comes an echo on the breeze, Rustling through the leafy trees, And its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois.
When you heard your country calling, Illinois, Illinois, Where the shot and shell were falling, Illinois, Illinois, When the southern host withdrew, Pitting Grey against the Blue, There were none more brave than you, Illinois, Illinois.
Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois, On the record of thy years, Abr'am Lincoln's name appears, Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois.
