The Iowa Waltz
Embracing Heartland Harmony: The Essence of the Iowa Waltz
Lyrics
Home in the midst of the corn,
Expressing a sense of belonging or familiarity with the cornfields, indicating a connection to the home in Iowa.
The middle of the U.S.A.
Highlighting the geographical location, emphasizing the centrality of Iowa in the United States.
Here's where I was born,
Acknowledging the speaker's birthplace, suggesting a deep connection to Iowa.
And here's where I'm goin' to stay.
Declaring a commitment to remain in Iowa, indicating a strong sense of rootedness.
Iowa, Iowa,
Celebrating the seasons in Iowa and inviting others to join in dancing to the Iowa Waltz, portraying a joyful and inclusive atmosphere.
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
-Come and see, come dance with me,
-To the beautiful Iowa Waltz.
-We take care of our own, take care of our young,
Stressing the community's commitment to taking care of its members, particularly the young, fostering a sense of unity and responsibility.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Encouraging industriousness by making the most of favorable conditions, such as sunshine, to create a prosperous environment.
Growing our crops, singing our songs,
Depicting a harmonious life of agriculture, singing, and planting, capturing the essence of the community's activities.
And planting until harvest time.
Highlighting the cyclical nature of farming, emphasizing the dedication to planting until the harvest season.
Iowa, Iowa,
Reiterating the seasonal theme and the invitation to experience the beauty of Iowa through the Waltz, reinforcing a sense of pride and joy.
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
-Come and see, come dance with me,
-To the beautiful Iowa Waltz.
-Iowa, Iowa,
Continuing the celebration of Iowa and the Waltz, inviting others to join in the experience throughout the different seasons.
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
-Come and see, come dance with me,
-To the beautiful Iowa Waltz.
