Clean Prairie winds blow from Rockford to Cairo Over the cornfields that gleam in the sun And off in the east glow, the lights of Chicago When daylight has ended and night has begun In Illinois, Illinois The skyline, the stockyard, The Gold coast, the grain fields Chicago, the giant that leads all the rest Chicago where trains roll, into the station The heart of the nation, the start of the West In Illinois, Illinois In Illinois, Illinois Blue haze of winter Hangs over the Prairie Feel the soft winds of spring Chase the chill from the air Bright August mornings And the warm summer rainfall On brisk autumn days With a harvest to share In Illinois, Illinois Illinois, Illinois
