1.
Here’s to you, beloved Rhode Island,
With your hills and ocean shore:
We are proud to hail you ‘Rhody’,
And your Patriots of yore
First to claim your Independence,
Rich your heritage and fame:
The ‖: smallest State, :‖ and yet ‖: so great, :‖
We will glorify your name.
2.
Here’s a toast to you, Rhode Island,
And your gallant sons so brave:
Who have fought to win your freedom,
In the air, on land and wave.
May you always be victorious,
Led by ‘Hope’, your motto grand:
Where ‖: e’er we roam, :‖ we’ll come ‖: back home, :‖
To our dear own Rhode Island.
