MRS. MABE’S third graders went from class to class on Fri., Sept. 19, singing the song, “Missouri Has 8 Border States.” Mrs. Mabe wrote the song so that her students would always remember Missouri’s neighbor states. The song is sung to the tune of “This Land is Your Land.”
“Missouri 8 Border States.” This state is your state. It touches eight states. We’ll start with Kansas, and then Kentucky. We touch Illinois, and Iowa. We skim the edge of Tennessee, there’s Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Let’s not forget Nebraska, too. This state has eight neighbor states! Missouri!
