The song "Here We Have Idaho," sometimes known as "Our Idaho," the music for which was composed by Sallie Hume Douglas, is hereby designated and declared to be the state song of the state of Idaho; provided that credit is given to McKinley Helm for composing the words of the chorus as follows: "And here we have Idaho Winning her way to fame Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze And romance lies in her name Singing, we're singing of you Ah, proudly too All our lives thru We'll go singing, singing of you Singing of Idaho". Providing further, that credit is given to Albert J. Tompkins for composing the words of the verses as follows: First verse--"You've heard of the wonders our land does possess Its beautiful valleys and hills The majestic forests where nature abounds We love every nook and rill." Second verse--"There's truly one state in this great land of ours Where ideals can be realized The pioneers made it so for you and me A legacy we'll always prize."
