Come where the sun shines, and where life's worth your while; You won't be here long, till you'll wear a smile; No state's so healthy, and no folk quite so true.
the state we love the best, Land of our fathers, builders of the west; Home of the Badlands, and Rushmore's ageless shrine, Black Hills and prairies, farmland and sunshine.
