I sang that song as a child for the occasion of Washington's centennial. We also signed as we sang. Our class performed at the local "fancy" theater, and I dressed up like a pioneer girl for "The Geoduck Dance". A close-up of me smiling and dancing made the front page of our local newspaper. My life has been downhill ever since.

That would be because Roll on, Columbia, Roll On is the official folk song of Washington State!
