Walla Walla, a city in the state of Washington, U.S.A., near the mouth of the Walla Walla river, is named for the native American tribe, Walawalaláma (Walla Walla people).
As the original settlement was situated at the junction of the Columbia and Snake rivers, 'Walla Walla' is Nez Perce for 'Place of Many Waters'.
July 2011, Walla Walla was selected by USA Today as the friendliest small city in the U.S.
Altho' wheat is a large crop, the region is known for its vineyards and wine production.
After 1/2 a glass of red wine from Walla Walla, Martin was 'inspired' to write the song, 'Walla Walla'.

WALLA WALLA
MY BABY'S GONE TO WALLA WALLA
WHY SHE'D GO NO ONE CAN SAY
MAYBE SHE KNOWS A PLACE TO STAY
MY BABY WENT TO WALLA WALLA
MY BABY FLEW TO WALLA WALLA
WHY SHE'S THERE I HAVE NO CLUE
PERHAPS IT'S THE THING TO DO
MY BABY'S NEW TO WALLA WALLA
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BE
IT COULD BE THE HOME FOR ME
THERE I'LL FIND MY COUNTERPART
AS HOME IS WHERE I HANG MY HEART
MY BABY WENT TO WALLA WALLA
WHY SHE LEFT I'LL NEVER KNOW
MAYBE IT'S THE PLACE TO GO
MY BABY'S GONE TO WALLA WALLA
MY BABY'S NOW IN WALLA WALLA
WHY SHE MOVED I'LL NEVER GUESS
PERHAPS IT'S A GOOD ADDRESS
MY BABY LIVES IN WALLA WALLA
IT'S SO NICE THEY NAMED IT TWICE
TWICE?
WALLA WALLA
WALLA WALLA
WALLA WALLA
WALLA WALLA
