BOUND TO THE HILLS.
Well yes We're walking

Well, yes, We're walking
Pardner dry up; why shouldn't he be tolds-
Toward them there mountains after that there gold
It has got to be. And I'd uncommonly like to see
Uncle SANS troopers stop my pard and me.
Yankee dragoons says you twill do their dutys''
With gold for duty.
Knowing what Congressman have done for gain,
Are common soldiers likely to abstainy
look for them. sir, to desert;
But as for fear that we'll get hurt
BY anything that they will do to stop us,
We run no risk unless them redskins drop us.
Always acknowledged that the soil was theirs:
Come, now, you've coleged it;
Which of them early pioneers ACKNOWLEDGED ity
Bough: it like honest men, time and again?
Paid for. When? Who did? Not Penn!
Yes, there you're right. He was about the best
Pardner your flask Here's Heaven help the rest,
them
Sublime display!
Should this republic let that treasure lay!
Hey. All that money just to be sublime!
Nary time
If glory came, sounded from Europes trump of
fame,
Till all creation had to stop ils ear;
For that there whistle we should pay too dear
Treaties be blowed!
I'd like to see the parchment that will hold there
We'd not have made no treaty if we'd knowed
And now we've found it, leastwise will: next season
The land reverts- that's law; it stands to reason
You buy my farm suppose. Why, every pettifog-
ger knows
If you find coal where found only heather,
OF course get back land and gold together.
Not law? Yes it's YOu mind your biz!
Well, what if faint? Them redskins amt no
scholars.
So don't talk treaties when we're talking dollars.
Howl Judgments sent upon the country. We
NV pard and me-by then will be
NabObs in Paris-I should say Par-lee.
So as you say. Gods scourges may
Scourge you, but we shall wisely keep away
From war or famine
Or plague: besides that CANNON
Hain't we give back well nigh upon the whole.
Freedom and rights and such. of what was stole
From them there darks to quite a smart amount?
And you think Heaven can't balance an account!
Besides, them redskins always was perfid'jus
just don't you fear.
I'm one that likes to read my title clear.
So I've about ciphered this ere thing out.
What them there Sioux have got to do
Is just to take a trip across the border,
And get extinguished, after law and order.
If that don't right en- laws are not made 10 suit
their whim.
Didn't Washington fight 'em-and where's bet
ter man than him:
This theme is one patriot soul expands on
Sir. this great nation owes it to civilization
To take whatever it can lay its hands Oh.
There again-isn't it plain.
What if them hill belonged We'll say to Spain?
But now if there's a conflict we shall win it.
l say the ways of Providence is in it.
Can't see it? can. I'm square man.
You said where were you going: You've been told
You 90 for principles go for gold.
Go for it srOng-and also for our country, right or
wrong.
Which means the same; so you had better mind
it.
The only reason why Uncle Sam won't have that
gold next season
Will be tain't there or else U. S. can't find it.
Now if you are rested,
Pard, we'll go on and get this matter tested
