By thy rivers gently flowing,
Illinois, Illinois,
O'er thy prairies verdant growing,
Illinois, Illinois,
Comes an echo on the breeze.
Rustling through the leafy trees,
and its mellow tones are these,
Illinois, Illinois,
And its mellow tones are these,
Illinois.
And its mellow tones are these,
Illinois.
