Lost Opportunities.

1OoS VII }0i
No Indians out west TO fight,
No scouting to be DONE
No pesky redskins to lie low
And have lot of fun.
No chance to follow up the trail
And scalp a brave or two.
No place TO take the warpath now.
What is boy to do?
Not very many years ago
A fellow had a chance
TO take a hand with Buffalo Bill
And ON the camp advance,
Or he could hide behind bush,
Lie low and mind his eye
And with his rifle pick them off
AS they went riding by.
Those We're the days a boy could be
A hero bold and grand
And snatch the pretty heroine
From some marauding band.
And when the cruel war was DER,
With honor for his side.
He'd take her TO his humble home
And she would be his bride.
There isn't any show for boys
Like once there used to be.
1t hardly pays them any more
When they run off to sea.
Why can't the Indians break out
And round the war pole dance
Or raid the settlements again
And give boy chance?
