I've reached the land OF drouth and

Where nothing grows for man to cat;
There shines for him no brighter

Oh. scurry land. Sweet scurry land

And wonder why II never rains:
Then Gabriel roars with trumpet
sound,
And says the rain has passed around
We have no wheat, we have no oats
We have no corn to feed our shoats
Our chickens are too poor to eat,
Our pigs go squealins down the
street
Our horses are Of broncho race
Starvation stares them in tho face
We do not live, we only stay
For we're too poor to get away.

And there he stands and looks

And sometimes three all want the
