State Song #1“You Are My Sunshine”
By Jimmy Davis
You Are My SunshineMy only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
State Song #2“Give Me Louisiana”
Give me Louisiana, The State where I was born The State of snowy cotton, The best I've ever known; A State of sweet magnolias, And Creole melodies. Oh give me Louisiana, The State where I was born Oh what sweet old mem'ries The mossy old oaks bring. It brings us the story of our Evangeline. A State of old tradition, of old plantation days Makes good ole Louisiana The sweetest of all States.
