Small Signals - Our Delaware Lyrics

Oh the hills of dear New Castle
And the smiling vales between
When the corn is all in tassel
And the meadowlands are green
Where the cattle crop the clover
And its breath is in the air
While the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware

Oh, our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
For the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware
Oh! our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
Here's the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

Where the wheat fields break and billow
In the peaceful land of Kent
Where the toiler seeks his pillow
With the blessings of content
Where the bloom that tints the peaches
Cheeks of merry maidens share
And the woodland chorus preaches
A rejoicing Delaware

Oh, our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
For the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware
Oh! our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
Here's the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

Dear old Sussex visions linger
Of the holly and pine
Of Henlopen's Jeweled finger
Flashing out across the brine
Of the gardens and hedges
And the welcome waiting there
For the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

Oh, our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
For the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware
Oh! our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
Here's the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

From New Castle's rolling meadows
Through the fair rich fields of Kent
To the Sussex shores hear echoes
Of the pledge we now present
"Liberty and Independence"
We will guard with loyal care
And hold fast to freedom's presence
In our home state Delaware

Oh, our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
For the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware
Oh! our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
Here's the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware
