Rhode Island State March (Song)

"Rhode Island"

Words and music by T. Clark Brown
Adopted on April 30, 1946 as the State Song March.
Replaced in 1996 by "Rhode Island's it For Me."

 

The song, "Rhode Island", words and music by Thomas Clarke Brown (1885-1953), was adopted as the official song of Rhode Island on April 30, 1946.

"Rhode Island"

Here's to you, belov'd RHODE ISLAND,
With your Hills and Ocean Shore.
We are proud to hail you RHODY
And your patriots of yore.

First to claim your independence,
Great your heritage and fame.
The smallest State in all the Union,
We will glorify your name!

 

 

Origin of Song March:

The song, "Rhode Island", words and music by Thomas Clarke Brown (1885-1953), was adopted as the official song of Rhode Island on April 30, 1946. However, in 1996, a bill was approved in the General Assembly that replaced "Rhode Island" as the official state song with "Rhode Island's It for Me" and designated "Rhode Island" the official state march.
