Verse 1:

I was born in Kan -sas, I was bred in Kan -sas

And when I get mar -ried, I'll be wed in Kan -sas.

There's a true blue gal who prom -ised she would wait,

She's a sun -flow -er from the sun -flow -er state.

 

Verse 2:

Skies are fair in Kan -sas, clouds are rare in Kan -sas,

Nev -er saw a place that could com -pare with Kan -sas.

So I'm go -in' home to keep a wed -din' date with my

Sun -flow -er from the sun -flow -er state.

 

Chorus:

She's a sun -flow -er, she's my sun -flow -er

And I know we'll nev -er part.

She's a sun -flow -er, she's my one flow -er,

She's the flow -er of my heart.
