Pennsylvania's western daughter
With your tubes of liberty
Princess of pig-iron slaughter
With your boyfriend Carnegie
Oh you were stained gla*sed
You were smokestacked
You were laid in cobblestone
You were trolley car tracked
And for you the red sky shone
And while thieves, and black-sleeved buccaneers
Pitched and kicked their orbs
It was for you that I cheered my wild cheers
In the field of Mr Forbes
I sent cinnamints from Shadyside
I paid homage from The Hill
Oh no, it cannot be denied
And Cola-Coke can't kill
Let the trees in Chemney grow strong
May the bagpipes never burst
Let the Allegheny roll right along
May I thirst the Duquesne thirst
May your steel mills stand forever
And your Learning Tower too
May Mellon remain clever
Good luck and God bless you
