Beeston, the well known band leader. Ray W. Lockards name appears on the original musical score as a co-writer of the song. The actual official song for the state of Iowa is The Song Of Iowa, written by S.H.M. Byers in 1897. But, the best know and most popular song for the state of Iowa is the famous Iowa Corn Song. George Hamilton started the song back in 1912 when a delegation of Za-Ga-Zig Shriners had gone to Los Angeles, California, to participate in a huge Shrine convention, and it was realized that what Iowa needed was a rousing marching song, which should advertise the chief product of the state: Corn. So Hamilton wrote the original stanza, dealing mainly with the glories of the Shrine, and tacked on the original and still intact chorus, which is by far the best known and most rousing part of the song. Hundreds of later verses have been added by Hamilton himself, Professor Beeston and others, but as it is published and usually sung, the above printed song is the most accurate and popular rendition of the Iowa Corn Song.

The song was first published in 1921 after more additions were made to it. It has been played often since its creation to this day by various groups and ceremonies. It has also been performed with original renditions by musicians and songwriters like Percy Faith and The Browns.HistoryIowa Shriners decided to write their own Iowa song, after listening to songs about other states at a Shriner Conclave in Los Angeles, California, in 1912. Shriner and Secretary of the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce George Hamilton began the process by writing words to the chorus of the song Travelling by George Botsford.123 English immigrant John Beeston created the musical score for the Shriner band leading the Iowa Corn Song to be popular at the Georgia Conclave.1 New lyrics were later added by Ray W. Lockard with a musical setting that was developed by Edward Riley. The final version was first published in 1921.4Reception and legacyA tradition is for singers to raise their arms above their head when the words tall corn are sung during the choruss last line.3 Volume 12 of Successful Farming in 1922 advertised ordering pieces of music as a Valentines Day gift with the Iowa Corn Song as a choice. The advertisement stated that it is the famous Corn song, sung by Iowa delegations at all conventions.5 Percy Faith performed the song with his orchestra.3 The song was recorded on an early 20th century phonograph.6 Al Grady of the Iowa City Press-Citizen said in 1964 that people raised in Iowa have always considered it the Iowa Corny Song, an American Legion promotion which pictures Iowans as country clods from Coonskin Corners.7 Grady continued by saying that maybe we are country clods! Maybe there is a Coonskin Corners ... Think what you will of tradition, the Iowa Corn Song is a very solid little melody with a lot of kick, easily learned, easily hummed, easily whistled and easily sung.7References^ a b Schmidt, Duane A.
