They should have chosen something more in keeping with Florida history and tradition:
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay/
Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away/
Gone from the earth to a better land I know/
I hear their gentle voices calling "Old Black Joe."/
I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head is bending low/
I hear their gentle voices calling "Old Black Joe."

Reminds me of the old blues song by Leadbelly (Johnny Cash and CCR did a version too) called Cotton Fields
