The Men Here in Kansas
The men here in Kansas don't hunt for
fight,
For muddIers and rogues, we despise them:
We have our pursuits and we do what is
By Others, and therefore advise them
Their speech 10 control and their actions TO
guard:
II not, they are likely TO rue them,
We're in il and if any rumpus they start
For treason we're likely to sue them
The men here in Kansas obey every call,
And hecklers we know to control them:
Disloyal the wretches, they'll cause their
In jail we will likely console them.
We kansans mean business in war or IN
Distinctions, we never did fear them.
And slackers, we treat like j loathsome
Their holdings we will commander them
When liberty bonds will arrive here for
The men here in Kansas will buy them;
We, in this dark crisis our country won
The plotters. we Kansans defy them
And warn them the laws aud the orders to
Our tempers are likely to raise them;
We will not consent TO a cowardly deed
OF plotting; the law, it is likely to face
them.
The men here in Kansas don't run from a
When outsiders want to disturb them;
They stand by the Red and the Blue and
And bluffing viii never perturb them;
Their records are clear and their rifles are
If ordered, they're likely TO use them
On those who our nation and courage have
Knocked,
Their lives, they are likely to lose them
Special dance tonight-Kellam Hall.
