Every state has something its rotary club can boast of;
[C] [G7] [C] [D7] [G]
Some product that the state produces the most of.
[C] [A7] [D7]
Rhode island is little but oh my,

[C] [G7] [C]
Copper comes from Arizona,
[G7] [C]
peaches come from Georgia, and

The wheat fields are the

sweet fields of Nebraska
[D7] [G7]
and Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain
[C]
Old whiskey
[G7] [C]
comes from old Kentucky
[G7] [C]
ain't the country lucky?
[D7] [G7]
New Jersey gives us glue.....
[C] [C7] [F]
And you, you come from Rhode Island, and
[Fm] [C] [D7] [G7] [C]
little old Rhode island is famous for you
[C] [G7] [C] [G7] [C]
Cotton, comes from Loosiana, gophers from Montana
[D7] [G]
and spuds from Idaho.
[C] [C7] [F]
They plough land in the cow land of Missoura,
[D7] [G]
where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow
[C] [G7] [C] [G7] [C]
Grand Canyons, come from Colorada, gold comes from Nevada,
[D7] [G7]
divorces also do.
[C] [C7] [F]
And you, you come from Rhode Island, and
[Fm] [C] [D7] [G7] [C]
little old Rhode island is famous for you
[C] [G7] [C]
Pencils, come from Pencilvania,
[G7] [C]
vests from Vest-Virginia, and
[D7] [G7]
tents from Tent-a-see
[C] [C7]
They know mink where they grow mink
[F]
in Wyomink
[D7] [G7]
a camp-chair in New Hampchair, that's for me
[C] [G7] [C] [G7] [C]
And minnows, come from Minnowsota, coats from DaCoata
[D7] [G7]
but why should you be blue?
[C] [C7] [F]
For you, you come from Rhode Island,
[C] [C7] [F]
Don't let them ride Rhode Island and
[Fm] [C] [D7] [G7] [C]
little old Rhode island is famous for you
