"Oregon, My Oregon", written by J.A. Buchanan of Astoria and Henry B. Murtahg of Portland was designated the state song in 1927. The lyrics are as follows:

Land of the empire builders, land of the golden west; Conquered and held by free men, fairest and the best. Onward and upward ever, forward and on and on; Hail to thee, land of Heros, 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.
