Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down by the border road
Where the berry fields roll
Lynden keeps a steady hand
And a neighborly soul
White church steeples rise
Over red barn roofs
Dutch boots on the porch
And the pie plates move
[Pre-Chorus]
From sunrise to supper time
Folks wave when they pass
Every fence line says
We still know how to last
[Chorus]
Welcome to Lynden
Where the good folks stay
Welcome to Lynden
Where we work and pray
Dutch farms and fairgrounds
Old songs in the air (hey!)
Welcome to Lynden
Come on in, friend, if you dare
[Verse 2]
At the NW Washington Fair
You can smell the sweet hay
Prizes on the midway
And the kids shout hooray
Blue ribbons shining
On a loaf and a jam
Granddad tips his hat
Says, “That’s a mighty fine plan”
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunday shoes on Monday
Mud on the workday boots
A sermon on the rafters
And a harvest in the roots
[Chorus]
Welcome to Lynden
Where the good folks stay
Welcome to Lynden
Where we work and pray
Dutch farms and fairgrounds
Old songs in the air (hey!)
Welcome to Lynden
Come on in, friend, if you dare
[Bridge]
When the evening settles low
And the last bell rings
You can hear the porch screen
And the banjo sing
Faith in the morning
Bread on the table
Simple, steady living
That keeps a town stable
[Chorus]
Welcome to Lynden
Where the good folks stay
Welcome to Lynden
Where we work and pray
Dutch farms and fairgrounds
Old songs in the air (hey!)
Welcome to Lynden
Come on in, friend, if you dare
[Outro]
Welcome to Lynden
Bless this friendly town
Welcome to Lynden
Banjos spinnin’ round

Style
1890s ragtime jazz with banjo strumming, tuba bounce, cornet accents, and a strolling two-step rhythm; verse rides with playful storytelling and tight rhythmic pickup notes, pre-chorus narrows to banjo and handclaps, chorus opens with gang singalong and bright horn tags. Lead vocal is wink-and-smile, lightly doubled on hooks with short call-and-response ad-libs. Add barn-door squeaks, fairground whistles, and a quick banjo flourish into each chorus. Warm, lively, slightly dusty vintage mix, jazz
