Best best ballads that refer to a US State

@notlistening - yeah, I remember that 'Della wear' song very well; I just never realized that the hit version of it was by Perry Como! 

Most persons that work at that comes out with ":MOON LIGHT IN VERMONT "

As do 95 % of people that lived at the time ! Frank Sinatra has a good one on here, as

have many great jazz artists .

Hate to break to you , folks , but not knowing this is pittiful ;

This is what that is almost gone in America , CLASS .

@jim5559 - that must have been some poll to find out that 95% of the population that lived at that time would say 'Moonlight In Vermont' as a ballad with a state name in it.

I'm 70 years old and I don't know anybody who would have named it, but then, I didn't take the poll. I find that fascinating - could you please provide a link to it? 

While the various versions of "I've Been Everywhere" include mostly towns rather than states, I'd vote to include it in this thread.

Most of you would have heard the Johnny Cash version with North American locations. There's another version only for Texas of course, one for New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and England, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Catalonia and probably many more. The original was written by an Australian, though. Here's the that version, it's a little fast so try to keep up!
