Colorado Good Enough For Ne.

/ was born in old Nebraska
In that stormy land OF chimes
I've spent years in study, travel
Seeking wisdom in all lines
l have looked the country over
Searching for some go0dly land
From the shores OF the Atlantic
To Pacific ocean grand
And know by hard earned knowled9'
The best kind of proof you see
That this grand old Colorado
Is just good enough for me.
Yes this dear old Colorado
With plains and mountains grand
With It's matchless peri .ct climate
The best found in any land
You can talk about your climates
Anywhere on earth you know
But this one of Colorado
Takes the cake it does by Joe
l have lived where winters froZe me
! sizzled in het climes
l have been where summers always
1 seen all kind of times
l have roamed DER sunny southland
With their grass clad smiling wales
Lands of rice, corn, cane and cotton
Which they bind in great big bales
But what ever befalls me
| pray my lot shall be
Cast in the blessed Colorado.
Which is good enough for me.
People you in Billiards northland's
Part of year thermometers troze
Oh why suffer come to wal m and
Thaw your ears an nose and toes
If not frozen you are scorching
One or tother sure to be
AS they say between o.d Harry
And his pardner the deep blue sea
Come to paradise forever
Colorado it shall be
Then you too will soon be shouten
1t is good enough for me
With its fruits, melons luscious
Grand-all products great you see
Make this State OF colorado
just the place for you and me
With soil as rich as Croesus
Spreading out nine hundred miles
Which you only have to tickle
And the whole creation smiles
The handsomest and smartest women
All are now voters in the land
Live right Ii ere in Colorado
And their always in demaad
All good things this side of Heaven
To he found on earth YOU see
They are here in Colorado
And it's good enough for me.
She has minerals gold and silver
Wealth that scarcely can be told
Fishing waters oils in fountains
Health for all both young and old
Produce in most great abundance

Fruits OF all kinds in protusion.

Her sons are all valient noble and
brigE,

When my earthly days are over
And ''checks in" I'll have to pass
To that land to which all people
Must some time go alas
But I'd like to put or going
Till the very end of time
Just stay here and heep on growing
Younger in this golden clime
When he calls I'll tell st Peter
Say Sir, please Sir, don't you see
This grand old Colorado a
Always good enough for me
But If lie should kick about it
will tell him sure and true
