"Bluebonnets"

by Julia D. Booth and Lora C. Crockett

When the pastures are green in the springtime
And the birds are singing their sonnets,
You may look to the hills and the valleys
And theyxre covered with lovely Bluebonnets.

Blue is the emblem of loyalty,
They're as blue as the deep, deep sea,
Their smiling faces bring gladness,
For they bloom for you and for me.

Bluebonnets, so gorgeous and stately,
In your mantle of blue and of green,
In the spring when youxre in your full glory,
You're the loveliest sight ever seen.

You're beautiful when you sway in the sunshine,
You look like waves of the sea,
Ah, Texas was wise in her choice of a flowxr,
So we offer our homage to thee.

Chorus:

Bluebonnets, blue lovely Bluebonnets,
More beautiful than all the rest.
Texas chose you for her flower,
And we love you best, Bluebonnets.

Texas designates "Texas Our Texas" as the official state song.
The bluebonnet is also the state flower of Texas.
