Dick Haymes All I Iowa lyrics

Miscellaneous
All I Iowa
Though I know all I owe I owe Iowa
I owe Iowa all I owe and I know why
I'm an Iowa born and bred
And on Iowa corn I'm fed
Not to mention her barley wheat and rye
I Iowa for her ham and her beef
And her lamb and her strawberry jam
And her pie
I owe Iowa more than I can never pay
So I think I'll move to Californi-a

What a shame! What a shame!
You'll be good and gosh darn sorry
When you go
When you leave your native state
You'll be feeling far from great
'Cause there can't be
Any better home for you

You're a seed of Iowa grain
You're a breeze that Iowa blew
You're a drop of Iowa rain

You're a drip of Iowa dew

Though I know all I owe I owe Iowa
I owe Iowa all I owe and I know why
I'm an Iowa born and bred
And on Iowa corn I'm fed
Not to mention her barley wheat and rye
I owe Iowa for her ham and her beed
And her lamb and her strawberry jam
And her pie
I owe Iowa more than I can never pay
If she'll keep me on a cuff
I'd like to saty

Beter stay! Better stay!
You'll be good and gosh darn sorry
If you go
If you leave your nativestate
You'll be feeling far from great
'Cause there can't be
Any better home for you
