Happy 101st Birthday Arizona!

By
Real Estate Agent with United Real Estate SA542701000

February 14th is a big day at our house for a couple of reasons, it's Valentine's Day, so Happy Valentine's Day to my sweetheart Scott, our 28th and still going strong! And Happy Birthday Arizona, officially a young and beautiful 101 years old!

And what better way to celebrate than a chorus or two of the semi-official Arizona State Song, originally recorded by Arizona cowboy legend, Rex Allen Jr. If you're so inclined, sing along with Rex.

 

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 and all;
The warmth you give at sunrise;
Your sunsets put music in us all.

Oo, Arizona;
You're the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona,
You're the life-blood of me;

I love you Arizona;
Desert dust on the wind;
The sage and cactus are blooming,
And the smell of the rain on your skin.

Oo, Arizona;
You're the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona,
You're the life-blood of me.

Oo, Arizona;
You're the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona,
You're the life-blood of me.

Special Thanks to Jeff, Rudy and "Sedonasong" for sharing the beauty of our state and of course to Rex Allen Jr.

I had no idea AZ was this old. For some reason I thought it came as one of the last states except for the late arrivals, HI & AK. Thanks for the info, cheers cvc

Hi Curtis, you're thinking was spot on... Arizona was the 48th state admitted to the union in 1912 with AK and HI our 49th and 50th admitted much later 1959, I believe...

Nancy - I didn't realize we had a "semi-official" state song - but it sure does work!  I also didn't realize the AZ anniversary was on 2/14 - but Nathan (a native!) knew!
