WE'RE KANSANS

We came from East, and North and
South,
We came to face the lannon's mouth,
We often came with spoken vow,
To have our way no matter how,
To kill, perchance; but now
We're kansans.
We've weathered storms which frozen
fell,
We've weather winds as hot AS
And Pharoah's plague in dark clouds
And fires and droughts; and then the
name
Of Bleeding Kansas the
shamel
We're Kansans
We're richer now than many states,
Have better laws and fewer hates
We let our women have their way;
And every fellow has his say
Some talk too much. It doesn't pay
For Kansas.
And men grow rich and all of that
We envy some and some we hate;
| We differ in affairs of state,
| But when it's Prohibition straight
We're Kansans.
! we sometimes ScOrn ne1ghbOf' S
creed;
And question oft his word or deed
! Our House and Senate often cause
| An angry word-or pious pause,
But when it comes to <fB1ue Sky laws
We're Kansans.
We ride the pachydern* and ass,
And boot each other as we pass:
But when the vote is counted fair
We meet each other ffOn the square. -
And shout, cold Pard! Just put 'er
there
We're Kansans.
/ We sometimes wander from the sta tie
/ To chase that tickle maiden=Fate;
| We search for health, or wealth, OF
fame,
| But ne'er forget the sun1ower's name
/ And when we see that golden flame
/ We're Kansans.
We love our friends, we love ou1
state,
We have no foes whom we should
hate,
Hence when the sands of life have
And we pass onward, one by one
Until Grim Death has fairly won
We're Kansans
