[Dixielandjazz] Song Search-- This is my country

[Norman Vickers]

Listmates-I'm looking for the music for the verse to "This is My Country"
composed 1940, music Don Raye, Lyrics by Al Jacobs.

 

Most of us know tune and I have the music  for the chorus.

Until recently I didn't know there was a verse which goes:

 

What difference if I hail from North or South

Or from the  East or West

My heart is full of love for all of these,

I only know I swell with pride and deep within my breast,

I thrill to see old glory paint the breeze!

 

If you can assist, it would be much appreciated.
