I know that California has a state song.  I would love to have the
words.  Thanks.  (I know "I Love You, California" and "There's a Land
that is calling."  Are either one of these the "official" state song?)

Hi gramma,

Here you go - 

"I love You California"
Written by F. B. Silverwood
Composed by A. F. Frankenstein

"...In 1951, the State Legislature passed a resolution designating it
as California's state song. During the years following, several
attempts were made to make other songs such as "California, Here I
Come" the official state song. Finally, in 1988, "I Love You,
Califomia" became the official state song by law. (Source: California
State Library)"

"I love you California . . . you're the greatest state of all . . .
I love you in the winter, summer, spring, and in the fall.
I love your fertile valleys, your dear mountains I adore.
I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore."
