| Lyrics: | Elanoy
Way down upon the Wabash, such land was never known;
If Adam had passed over
it, the soil he'd surely own.
He'd think it was the garden he'd played in as a boy,
And
straight pronounce it Eden in the State of Elanoy.
cho:
Then move your fam'ly
westward,
Good health you will enjoy,
And rise to wealth and honor in
The state of Elanoy.
'Twas here the queen of Sheba came, with Solomon of old.
With
bullock's load of spices, pomegranates and fine gold;
And when she saw this lovely land her
heart was filled with joy
Straightway she said "I'd like to be a queen in
Elanoy."
She's bounded by the Wabash, the Ohio and the Lakes.
She's crawfish in the
swampy lands, the milk-sick and the shakes.
But these are slight diversions and take not from
the joy
Of living in this garden land, the state of Elanoy.
Away up in the
northward, right on the borderline
A great commercial city, Chicago, you will find.
Her
men are all like Abelard, her women like Heloise
All honest virtuous people, for they live in
Elanoy.
last cho:
Then move your family westward,
Bring all
your girls and boys
And cross at Shawnee Ferry to
The State of
Elanoy.
