"Memories of My Iowa Girl"
(Courtesy of Bonnie Holscher Walling of Davenport, Iowa)

I've traveled afar in my wand'rings
And I'm long miles away from Old Gold—
But mem'ries bring recollections
And oh what joys they unfold—
I see once again the old campus
With its green trees and river nearby—
But my Iowa girl, of all in the world
I want you once more by my side.
