Florida (Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky)
"Florida, Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky" is the official anthem of the State of Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The State Anthem: "Florida (Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky)" )〕 Originally written as a replacement for the state song, "Old Folks at Home" ("Swanee River"), it was instead designated as the state's official anthem in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The State Song: "Old Folks at Home" )
==Background==
Florida, which became a U.S. state in 1845, did not have a state song until 1913. On May 12, 1913, Governor Park Trammell signed a bill which designated "Florida, My Florida" as the state song. "Florida, My Florida" was sung to the tune of the German Christmas song "O Tannenbaum", whose tune was also used for the official state songs of Maryland ("Maryland, My Maryland")〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maryland at a glance:State Symbols--State song )〕 and Iowa ("The Song of Iowa"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iowa Official Register: State Symbols of Iowa )〕 and for the unofficial state song of Michigan ("Michigan, My Michigan").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michigan's State Songs )〕 In 1935, a resolution changed the state song to "Swannee River" .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Florida State Symbols:The State Song )
"Old Folks at Home" by Stephen Foster, has lyrics which are widely considered to be racist, with lines such as "longing for de old plantation" and "Oh! darkies how my heart grows weary"; The state Department of Education had altered the lyrics in the 1970s for performance in schools, but the official lyrics still contained the racially unacceptable verbiage.〔 In 1983, then-governor Bob Graham suggested adding another, more upbeat state song. In 1997, state Representative Willie Logan introduced a bill to change the song, citing the offensive nature of the lyrics;〔 the bill was strongly opposed by lawmakers who represented the Suwanee River region, and ultimately was withdrawn by Logan.
