[3] The lyrics of "The Arizona March Song" were written by Margaret Rowe Clifford in 1915.
O come and live beside us However far ye roam Come help us build up temples And name those temples “home.”[5] The alternate anthem, "Arizona," is a country-and-western song written and performed by Rex Allen and Rex Allen Jr.
[3] I love you, Arizona Your mountains, deserts, and streams The rise of Dos Cabezas And the outlaws I see in my dreams;
I love you Arizona, Superstitions[a] and all; The warmth you give at sunrise; Your sunsets put music in us all.
I love you Arizona; Desert dust on the wind; The sage and cactus are blooming, And the smell of the rain on your skin.
