JUST TO SHELTON
Over There and Back Again

A jolly bunch of twenty two
To Shelton planned a ride;
And room there was for just a few,
But we all set side by side.
The noon hour came, we started off,
Each n chucked full Of finn.
But soon we came to roads so rough,
That troubles then begun.
We fought it on thru rain and shine,
We laughed, and sang, and smiled,
Till Railroad canyon changed the time,
And ont of cars we piled:
There was water, water everywhere.
And not a bite to eat;
| We walked and climbed, but I declare,
The crowd would not retreat.
The water deep in every place.
What else was there to do,
But wade right in above the knees
And pull the autos thru.
To Shelton all the girls were bound
They only walked ten miles.
The road was muddy they all found
But all were full of smiles.
The cars at last we're all pulled put
Each boy shouted Murray
They found the girls without a doubt,
Again we went our way.
A ranch A ranch !! We saw a light;
How happy we all feft.
We hoped there'd be something in sight,
To put beneath our belt.
But talk about your getting fooled;
We didn't get a bite.
SO hungry. wet. and very cold,
We all went on the fight.
| Again we started on our way;
Good roads we had from there;
We all in Shelton soon could say,
"We're here, we're here, we're here"
Now next of the baseball I'll tell
They beat us just by one.
We ended with the baseball yell;
My. how l wish we'd won.
They treated us great, believe me;
They're just full of fun;
| And back to Eureka they'll all be-
Well be glad to see them come.
Back home we all started again,
As jolly as before.
The tires tie tires We had to mend,
Counted more than q score.
We jonrneyed on and on our way;
We stopped off here and there.
To see what people had to say;
Get home was not our care.
A creek went running by the way,
And in we went for fun.
/ don't care what the balance say,
But I'd get in again.
Another ranch then came in view
We ate how much, who knows?
Now think and just compare the two
We aver dried our clothes.
On home. on home. with tired eyes.
On us the moon did beam;
But all at once, to our surprise,
Were out OF gasoline.
Some came to town; some stayed to wait;
But got home safe and sound;
And for the next trip we'll all wait.
To nave another round.
