Oregon State Flag
"STATE OF OREGON" flag
A Navy blue field
Escutcheon in gold
The majestic American eagle
Stands proudly above
Expressing support for
Its admittances in
Eighteen-hundred-fifty-nine
Into the union with thirty-three stars
A blazing sun setting
Over the Pacific Ocean,
Mountains, forests and a Conestoga wagon
All representing the dynamic natural resources
And splendor of Oregon
And the early settlers to the territory
A state with acres
Of farm land, mountains, forest, and beaches
Crystal clear aqua blue streams and rivers
Brilliant blue skies, breathing sweet fresh air
“The Beaver State”
Rated with its state flag
Shown proudly on the other side
Of our Oregon State flag
Only flag that proudly stands by its
Oregon state animal
