Oklahoma Hills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Oklahoma Hills" is a song written by Woody Guthrie. Leon "Oke" Guthrie, Woody's cousin, later improved the lyrics and music and in 1946 recorded a Western swing version. Leon's version is the most well known and most recorded.
Country singer Hank Thompson, joined by His Brazos Valley Boys, also recorded a well-known version of "Oklahoma Hills." Thompson's western swing rendition reached No. 10 on the Billboard magazine Hot C&W Singles chart in 1961.
In 2001 the Oklahoma State Legislature declared Woody's version the official state folk song.
- Way down yonder in the Indian nation
- Ridin’ my pony on the reservation
- In the Oklahoma Hills where I was born
- Way down yonder in the Indian nation
- A cowboy’s life is my occupation
- In the Oklahoma Hills where I was born
