Original Oklahoma State Theme Song!

Why did we even change it. This 101 year old shows it how it should be! This is from the Oklahoma Centennial Spectacular, how come people didn't post this? I don't know.....

@cutiegirl37 yes, he was really 101 at that time. lived 2 more years and could still sing the last year he lived. He was much better singing without a piano.

I love this song, but I think Oklahoma! is better

[morsmanlaw]

As a lifelong resident of Oklahoma, I am so, so thankful that we got rid of this and took on Oklahoma! as our state song.

@mrSRSbuisness he probably is

[mrSRSbuisness]

He looks like he might die any moment now.

You're kidding me! They let this go and substituted "Oklahoma! Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain; and the waiving wheat can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain!"?????
