Happy 127th Birthday Montana
It is hard to believe with all the history that Montana has made over the year's, that the state itself is surprisingly young. The "Treasure State" has only "officially" been a state for 127 years today. Happy Birthday Montana.
Ranking 4th in size, but 44th in population. Montana is one of the few places where people can still enjoy wide open spaces. Think of it this way, our state is slightly larger than the entire country of Japan.
I am proud to be born and raised in Montana and will raise a glass the Big Sky Country on it's birthday.
- Tell me of that Treasure State
- Story always new,
- Tell of its beauties grand
- And its hearts so true.
- Mountains of sunset fire
- The land I love the best
- Let me grasp the hand of one
- From out the golden West
- Montana, Montana, Glory of the West
- Of all the states from coast to coast, You're easily the best
- Montana, Montana, Where skies are always blue
- M-O-N-T-A-N-A
- Montana I love you!
- Each country has its flow'r;
- Each one plays a part,
- Each bloom brings a longing hope
- To some lonely heart.
- Bitterroot to me is dear
- Growing in my land
- Sing then that glorious air
- The one I understand.
- Montana, Montana, Glory of the West
- Of all the states from coast to coast, You're easily the best
- Montana, Montana, Where skies are always blue
- Montana, Montana I love you!
