Gut IN Kansas there's a man
Who knows more about the West
Than most anyone, I guess.
Mister Coburn is his name.
My pa says he carched-far fear
ned go wrong,-a hundrd year
Purity nigh, to find a state
where his folks could emigrate
Where you bet they'd want to stay
Raisin' steers so big they pay
Eat1n just alfalfa hay,
So Mister Coburn says.
And the cows out there he's seen;
All their milk ist turns to cream
As you squirt her in the pail;
said he never knew it fail:
That the joggle of the milk
Churned to butter fine as silk
1st between the house and barn
AS you walked,-on any farm
What has got alfalfa hay,
So Mister Cobu-n says.
Mister Coburn writes to pa
About Kansas. and as how
he should come and make a hitch
On some land an strike 1t rich:
said they had what folks was needin',
'Lolwed the state was ancient Eden;
Apple seeds a sproutin' still
From old Adams cider mill:
Said the fruit forbidden tree
Maxim wise as gods kin be
Was alfalfa, since the fall,
Free as air to one and all,
So Mister Coburn says.
As fer grass,-why out in Kansas
They can cut four tons an acre
On the prairie; cut and rake her
Twice a year,-it never fails;
Folks kin fill the barns with bales
What's the use, when Wheat1l go
Ninety bushel, for to NOW?
Then, a man had better SOW,
So Mister Coburn says
AS fer corn,-why out in Kansas
You kin hear a sort of rattle
Like they's fifty million cattle
Breaking through a patch of cane.
Hunnin' like a engine train
Somethin' like the rumblin roar
OF the buffaloes before
list keep COOL, pa says, and stop
That's the way a GROWN crop
Out in Kansas has to pop,-
Soil pulls this way, sun pulls that,
Makes the Joints to creak and snap,
In the Fall you'll find an ear,
So Mister Coburn says.
Out in Kansas, they raise pigs,
Meat as sweet as candy figs;
In six months they weigh a ton;
Eight months old, and all the fun
What an engine wants is come
Haulin' one pig fer a train
Sometimes, brakemen go insane
In one trip; turn gray and weak
Hard fer 'em to stand or speak;
Awful bad upon the nerves
Crawlin' slow around the curves
Lest the cars tip DER ker-snash,
And they have to pay the cash
Fer a hog list eight months old
AT is worth its weight in gold
Where's the railroad goin' to gain
When d hog is worth a train,
So Mister Coburn says
So pas got the moving fever.
Says if ma don't go, he'll leaver her.
Says out there at taXes's lower,
Skies are bluer, grass is greener;
Life is larger. folks is kinder,
Farms is cheaper, water sweeter;
Climates moist but not too wet;
Climates dry but not to fret;
Climates cold, but every Teller
frost makes Fall plowin' meller
Climates warm but pa is warmer
be gone from Hickry Corner,
%Injiany, and be goin
Where the sunflowers all are blowin
by gum pa says, my choice
Is fer Kansas; and my voice,
If the gunner should assign
Me to Congress, I'd decline;
Fer to be in Kansas, sir,
Beats a bein' senator, .~.
So Mister Coburn says.
