Notes: ~ the name James Royce Shannon is a pseudonym for James Joyce who added the words to the melody originally published in 1914 and based on "an original melody procured by John Valentine Eppell." It became the official state song of Missouri and later was associated with President Harry Truman, who would often play it on the piano for guests at the White House.
