I was born in Kansas, I was bred in Kansas
and when I get married, I'll be wed in Kansas.
There's a true blue gal who promised she would wait,
she's a sunflower from the sunflower state.
Chorus:
She's a sunflower, she's my sunflower and I know we'll never part.
She's a sunflower, she's my one flower, she's the flower of my heart.
Skies are fair in Kansas, clouds are rare in Kansas,
never saw a place that could compare with Kansas.
So I'm goin' home to keep a weddin' date
with a sunflower from the sunflower state.
Chorus:
She's a sunflower, she's my sunflower and I know we'll never part.
She's a sunflower, she's my one flower, she's the flower of my heart.
Troubles end in Kansas, folks unbend in Kansas,
Ev'ryone you meet will be your friend in Kansas,
And they'll all be there to help me, celebrate
with my sunflower from the sunflower state.
Chorus:
She's a sunflower, she's my sunflower and I know we'll never part.
She's a sunflower, she's my one flower, she's the flower of my heart.
Oh, the moon is brighter and the stars are bluer
and the gals are sweeter and their hearts are truer,
And I'm here to state there's one who's really great
she's a sunflower from the sunflower state.
Chorus:
She's a sunflower, she's my sunflower and I know we'll never part.
She's a sunflower, she's my one flower, she's the flower of my heart.
