* Unless otherwise noted, the songs are the official songs of the State. As you will notice, some states have multiple official songs. Written means the lyrics, composed means music. If there is no special designation for the composer, it means the writer also composed the music. If you happen to know any missing info, please let me know (i.e. who wrote Yankee Doodle)
When I have time, hopefully I can node the lyrics to these songs as well. (I'm pretty sure there aren't any copyrights on statesongs...) Assimilate!!
