The state song of Oregon is: "Oregon, My Oregon" Back In 1920, the Society of Oregon Composers held a competition to select a state song for Oregon. The winning entry, "Oregon, My Oregon," was a collaboration between John Andrew Buchanan, who wrote the lyrics, and Henry Bernard Murtagh, who composed the music. And the words to the song are as follows: Land of the Empire Builders,Land of the Golden West;Conquered and held by free men,Fairest and the best.Onward and upward ever,Forward and on, and on;Hail to thee, Land of Heroes,My Oregon.Land of the rose and sunshineLand of the summer's breeze;Laden with health and vigor,Fresh from the Western seas.Blest by the blood of martyrs,Land of the setting sun;Hail to thee, Land of Promise,My Oregon.
