I don't own the rights to this song. Pat Boone: America (My Country 'Tis Of Thee) The Rev. Samuel F. Smith wrote the words to "America," setting them to the tune of a German hymn "Hail, Dir im Siegerkranz" (Hail to Thee Who Wears the Winner's Garland). What he didn't know was that it's the same tune as Britain's "God Save the King." However, he felt that the melody was patriotic and was determined to write a patriotic hymn of his own to the tune. He claimed he wrote "America" in half an hour and never changed onw word after writing it.
