| WE cross the prairie as of old | B |
| The pilgrims crossed the sea | C |
| To make the West as they the East | D |
| The homestead of the free | C |
| We go to rear a wall of men | E |
| On Freedom's southern line | F |
| And plant beside the cotton tree | C |
| The rugged Northern pine | F |
| We're flowing from our native hills | G |
| As our free rivers flow | H |
| The blessing of our Mother land | I |
| Is on us as we go | H |
| We go to plant her common schools | J |
| On distant prairie swells | K |
| And give the Sabbaths of the wild | L |
| The music of her bells | K |
| Upbearing like the Ark of old | B |
| The Bible in our van | M |
| We go to test the truth of God | N |
| Against the fraud of man | M |
| No pause nor rest save where the streams | O |
| That feed the Kansas run | P |
| Save where our Pilgrim gonfalon | P |
| Shall flout the setting sun | P |
| We'll tread the prairie as of old | B |
| Our fathers sailed the sea | C |
| And make the West as they the East | D |
| The homestead of the free | C |
