Way out upon the rolling prairies In days gone by Cam the courageous pioneers, New lands and homes to try. They bravely face the toil and hardship When drought brought gloom. But still along the lonely roadways Shone the big sunflowers bloom. CHORUS: Fitting emblem of the people Who fought drought and gloom Still shining forth upon the prairie The golden sunflowers bloom Then let us all go bravely onward Till our work's done E'en though the fierce black rolling blizzards Darken the noonday sun We know they cannot last forever They pass away But still along the dusty highways The sunflower greets the day. So we will always stay in Kansas Here make our home Though the big, crowded, noisy cities Entice us all to roam. But out upon the quiet prairie There's lots of room Here we will live in sweet contentment Circled by the sunflower's bloom. |
