MY MICHIGAN Lyrics by Giles Kavanagh, 1933 Music by H. O'Reilly Clint, 1933 All hail, My Michigan. The flower of our union great! Health to My Michigan, From the Upper to the Strait! And may the wash of your saltless seas, While the zephyrs gently sway your trees, Sing to you Michigan, Might in War and Right is Peace. Hail La Salle, to Cadillac of old, to ev'ry pioneer we pledge their faith to hold! Oh, Michigan! My Michigan! May their noble deeds be ever told. So... All hail, My Michigan. The flower of our union great! Health to My Michigan, From the Upper to the Strait! And may the wash of your saltless seas, While the zephyrs gently sway your trees, Sing to you Michigan, Might in War and Right is Peace. Verse 2: Three cheers for Michigan! and a lusty tiger too! Long live my Michigan! With a will and heart so true. From Erie's marshes to Keweenaw! May the glory of your grandeur stand. God bless you Michigan, Fairest state in all our land. From canoe of birch to motor car, from ev'ry sugar and ev'ry copper bar, Your life began, my Michigan! To our land, you are the guiding star. So... Three cheers for Michigan! and a lusty tiger too! Long live my Michigan! With a will and heart so true. From Erie's marshes to Keweenaw! May the glory of your grandeur stand. God bless you Michigan, Fairest state in all our land. Final Verse: Here's to my Michigan! May your standard never fade! We love you, Michigan! Ev'ry lake and ev'ry glade. So, let our hearts sing in harmony, Let our voices ring in praise for you! God save you, Michigan! We'll defend you, we'll be true. To the years, the days that are to be. We dedicate our lives to honor liberty! For Michigan! My Michigan! Hold the torch of Tuebor loftily. So... Here's to my Michigan! May your standard never fade! We love you, Michigan! Ev'ry lake and ev'ry glade. So, let our hearts sing in harmony, Let our voices ring in praise for you! God save you, Michigan! We'll defend you, we'll be true. (detroithistorical.pastperfectonline.com/archive/2D630385-D9BB-4A1A-8F3A-368131321545)

Crazy how nothing interests people until a KZbinr makes a KZbin video about it and now suddenly "wow this is so interesting"… 😑

Hows it going alternate history hub fans

Yooper is still mine!

This sounds soo good and fun! Thank you for playing it and for helping save some history!

Actually not a bad song.

I got this on my recommendation feeds. 💀

This ain't bad for a song that people only know about because of Alternate History Hub.

hope that old lookin dig is still kicking lol! (your profile)

Hey, it's nichigan

Hopefully with AlternateHistory's video shining a light onto the TRUE anthem, we'll see a big proper cover and the state will finally be granted ownership of the song

as a michigander, i'm happy to live here

I wanted to add lyrics here, but because of the Copyright Term Extension Act, I don't want to get copyright violations. Until then, I'll reupload this on Public Domain Day 2028.

maybe i'll sing this if there are any lyrics XD

Thanks AlternativeHistoryHub for providing me this wonderful masterpiece

Hey, you're going to (hopefully) be famous!

Its such a shame this never once had an orchestra version since this song is unironically great, also the melody reminds me a lot of those Sousa Military March songs rather then a typical anthem

You are keeping a small piece of history alive & for that your a national sized hero 🫡

thank you now i know my michigan

Thanks Alternate History Hub

AHH sent me here

You should make a video where you sing the lyrics instead of tuning them

*me waiting till 2028 for the copyright to expire*

When part 2 drops we better get all of Tyler's MIDIs, including the Michigan, My Michigan one

this shit slaps

Were all here from the same place

We all know why we are here

Can’t think where the new comments came from…

Cody from AlternateHistoryHub sent me here.

Alternate History Hub sent me here

Thanks Cody for this jam

Who is here from alternate history hub leave a like or a comment

I like this more than Michigan, My Michigan If only there was an orchestral arrangement

Actually it is NOT "the" official anthem. The legal language of Concurrent Resolution 17 in January 1937 specified it is "an official song of the State of Michigan" rather than "the." This ensured the State never had to use it - and, in fact, it has NEVER been used for any state occasions. Nobody learns it in school - we learn the earlier and much more popular "Michigan, My MIchigan" - which has three versions and two tunes. In the Milan Area Schools, we learned the third set of lyrics and the second tune. Hence the joke that Michigan Legislators gathered on the steps of the Capitol Building after passing CR 17, sang the new official song - and nobody has sung it since. That's probably because the state did not buy, or Kavanagh and Clint were not willing to sell, the copyright. So the State would have to pay a royalty every time they used it. Thus, it was named "an" offical song instead of "the" to ensure that financial obligation would never happen.

Michigan state animal

What stop is that ???

how did he get to play this

too slow

Michigan, My Michigan is better but not the official song

What song was that

Is there anywhere one can listen to this being sung with lyrics?

can sombuddy send me the lyrics to this in text

Could you make a second video but at a faster tempo?

Nice!

Your description is inaccurate; the State House adopted a resolution making this "the " official state anthem, but it was changed in the State Senate to "an" official state anthem. However, no additional anthem has been adopted, which would make this a de facto "the" anthem for now.

Do you know if a pdf exists for the song including the lyrics? Thanks!

So this is the official anthem. Wow... Thanks so much for uploading this. :)

Its a 1914 edition piano

What piano is that
