Songs from the Northeastern States (US)

Last on my state song expedition is the region of the Northeastern states.

A couple of notes:

I got the most of the songs from internet research, and we all know how reliable that can be (not!). So, if you find anything that's incorrect, let me know.
Some songs were easy to find. Some were not. Some I had to notate myself after listening to a recording.
Some states have more than one state song, and since they weren't folk songs, I had to pay attention to copyright dates. (According to United States copyright law, the only copyrighted songs that are now "public domain" are those published before 1923.) However, even that wasn't easy to figure out. I couldn't find a copyright on some songs - and I found out that some songs' composers waived the copyright (otherwise, every time someone sings the state song in a non-school or non-church setting, they must pay a royalty!).
Most of the songs had tons of verses, so I just chose a couple in each case. If you need more verses, they are all findable on the internet.

NEW JERSEY

No official state song.

New Jersey's Unofficial State Song "I'm From New Jersey," passed both Legislative Houses in 1972. However it was not signed into law by the Governor. It remains popular statewide and on the Web.  Copyright © 1961, 1989 By Red Mascara-All Rights Reserved

NEW YORK

I Love New York (state song) - OK, what a challenge this one was to notate! Written in the late 70's, it has a distinct sound... with lots of syncopation, which made notating it seem like a challenging theory homework assignment. So, you have to listen to this to hear what I'm talking about! Do you New Yorkers really sing this song in the schools?
