Version 1 Version 2 Version 4
[Verse 1]
E
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
B7
We don't take our trips on LSD
B7
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
E
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
[Chorus]
E
I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee,
B7
A place where even squares can have a ball ----
B7
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
E
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
[Verse 2]
We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
[Chorus]
E
I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee,
B7
A place where even squares can have a ball ----
B7
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
E
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
[Verse 3]
Leather boots are still in style for mainly footwear;
Beads and roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
[Chorus]
E
I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee,
B7
A place where even squares can have a ball ----
B7
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
E
And white lightin's still the biggest thril of all
[Outro]
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
