OUR TREASURE LAND

In Arizona's desert land, There's gold in every grain of sand A treasure rich for me and you, Under AriZona's sky of blue Over the mountain creeps the moon About the desert silent gloom, Casting the mystic midnight spell, Over all who nearby dwell The Cacti shadows long and gaunt Conceang the night owls lonely haunt The coyotes dreary mournfu cry Warning you that he is nigh Strange and ghostly is the sight Of Arizona's desert in the night Shadows creep from far and near Eyes from everywhere seem to peer Then the dawn doth softly steal, The deserts mysteries to reveal And if you'll take winding path You'll see that more our fair land hath On the mountains rich with ore Are traces yet of Indian lore Hills and valleys stretching wide With ponderous trees on every side Thru the mountain stream will gush. Or an infant river swiftly rush. Near these streams in bygone days Red skins lived in savage ways The agile deer and shambling bear Were often hunted in their lair The pintos and the mountain sheep Pastured in the canyons deep. No never was a land so wide With wonders great every side Ancient missions worn with time Whose evening bells no longer chime There was never a land gayy dressed Never land one half blest Our Salt like the Egyptian Nile Flows thru land that's all worth while
