How Pierre Will Feel and Look
When the Reservation Is Opened.

and seem to cover wide range OF
Pierre sentiment:
THE SIOUX RESERVATION.
Now, Pierre folks, listen to my song
when the Sioux reservation is opened
I'll promise not 10 detain you long
IL the Sioux reservation don't open.
So bear with me while have my say,
Relating to matters in a general way,
And how Pierre property can be made to pay
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Don't hold your property UP too high
When the Sioux reservation is opened,
But sell to the man who has money to buy
When the Sioux reservation is open.
Don't stand on the streets and raise the cry
That the addition" people are telling the lie
About the water being so high
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Don't cut your own throats by internal strife
When the Sioux reservation is opened
But get down and rustic rs tho for dear life,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Don't let petty jealousies or feelings OF hate
Keep us from winning the capital of state,
Or of wearing the title of the sure Future
Great"
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Elect men to Office who will work for the
town
When the Sioux reservation is opened;
And who have enough nerve TO do it up
When the Sioux reservation is opened;
Men without fear of what people may say
About their fooling good money away;
Who will ride on band wagon and not on
dray
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Let us Kill off the cranks and the kickers the
day
That the Sioux reservation is opened:
Or buy them ticket and send them away
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Then we'll build on this river city so
great
The Queen of Dakota tie (soon to be) state ::
Just when we'll do this l can't give you the
date
Till the Sioux reservation is opened
To our good city fathers this suggestion I'd
make
When the Sioux reservation is opeued;
just give to our board of trade all they viii
take
When the Sioux reservation is opened
Then use big anger and bore big hole:
If we don't find the capital we'll surely strike
coal,
And make the non residents pay big toll,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
To Messrs. Bull, Mad Bear, Chaska and Gall,
When the Sioux reservation is opened,
We extend invitations to give us Il call
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
But don't come too early or don't come 70
stay;
Well open our slaughter pens just for day,
ana tDen Dllle dliSelS Will Will YOU away,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
To our friend Dr. Bland wen have nothing
TO say.
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
But hope he'll come out and spend just a
day.
When the Sioux reservation Is opened.
Well make him lose all his love for the Sioux
BY forcing a diet of yellow-dog stew,
And put him to bed with old White Ghost, so
true,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Be patient awhile and you'll hear something
drop;
The Sioux reservation will open;
Pierre will be the capital and harvest crop
When the Sioirx reservation does open;
Then we all will wear diamonds instead of
plain glass,
And pure shining gold viii take place of dull
brass.
Seims then will sell beer at cents glass,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
Well show then TO Kleiner, Clifford and
Peel
Should the Sioux reservation be opened
The true sense of gratitude that we all feel
That the Sioux reservation is opened.
And when our Pierre people receive the
good news.
Well place each one in presidents shoes,
And fill them all up with elegant booze,
When the Sioux reservation is opened.
