Here in the frontier country In 1889 The gem of the Cross Timbers region Was a newcomer's paradise Cattlemen and cowboys came crawling The landrush was certainly on And herds grazed in wide open country Back when the country was young OKC, the Big Friendly Still welcomes those who are searchin' For a fortune Or just open country In 1928 They discovered black gold And now a new land rush had started Say goodbye to the days of the old Cars and tall buildings Streets going every which way Business, it sure was booming As more folks moved to OK OKC, the Big Friendly Welcomes those who are searchin' For a fortune Or just open country But you can still hear The call of the Old West Cowboys still work the plains region Give their cattle the best And nothing stays the same But some things, they never change Modern frills and fences still perplex 'em And Okies still hate Texans OKC, the Big Friendly Still welcomes those who are searchin' For a fortune Or just open country (slow yodel)
