I've been looking for a performance of our state song. Although unsuccessful in that quest, I did find this little gem.

Happy,
That was a cute one. Thanks for sharing.

While they're not the official Wyoming song, several (actually most) of Chris LeDoux's songs make me long for Wyoming when I'm not there. Here are a couple of examples:

Can't believe I found this on Youtube! I grew up with that album:
The Norman Luboff Choir, "Songs of the Cowboy":

"Goodbye Old Paint, I'm leavin' Cheyenne"
Enjoy!

The Wyoming State Song
Wyoming
words by Charles E. Winter and music by George E. Knapp

In the far and mighty West,
Where the crimson sun seeks rest,
There's a growing splendid State that lies above,
On the breast of this great land;
Where the massive Rockies stand,
There's Wyoming young and strong, the State I love!

CHORUS:
Wyoming, Wyoming! Land of the sunlight clear!
Wyoming, Wyoming! Land that we hold so dear!
Wyoming, Wyoming! Precious art thou and thine!
Wyoming, Wyoming! Beloved State of mine!

In the flowers wild and sweet,
Colors rare and perfumes meet;
There's the columbine so pure, the daisy too,
Wild the rose and red it springs,
White the button and its rings,
Thou art loyal for they're red and white and blue,

Where thy peaks with crowned head,
Rising till the sky they wed,
Sit like snow queens ruling wood and stream and plain;
'Neath thy granite bases deep,
'Neath thy bosom's broadened sweep,
Lie the riches that have gained and brought thee fame.

Other treasures thou dost hold,
Men and women thou dost mould,
True and earnest are the lives that thou dost raise,
Strengthen thy children though dost teach,
Nature's truth thou givest to each,
Free and noble are thy workings and thy ways.

In the nation's banner free
There's one star that has for me
A radiance pure and splendor like the sun;
Mine it is, Wyoming's star,
Home it leads me near or far;
O Wyoming! All my heart and love you've won!

FL, I never realized that John Denver sang that song, too. By the way, that was a nice video, even though it wasn't all Wyoming.
