Hail! South Dakota, the best state in the land,
She has her Black Hills, and mines with gold so rare,
Come where the sun shines, and where life's worth your while,
No state's so healthy, and no folk quite so true,
Hail! South Dakota, the state we love the best,
Home of the Badlands, and Rushmore's ageless shrine,
(Hills, farms and prairies, blessed with bright sunshine).
