Talk about the land of this glorious Weat
Where people are now rusning, their Intures to test
There is where the land is now praised to the aktes:
Bring forth your cheers for the sweet by and byes
When all the gumbo hills be transferred into nelda
Rain will fall in torrents and crops they will yield
Corn and oats and wheat in abundance will grow
Farewell to all trouble, farewell to all woe

Come, come, come, and we’ll show you
What fortunes you’ll make
Come, ne, hand come us a few dollars,
And we will show you the corner stake
Oh! hear the whistle blow!
See the train is coming sol
Hurry and come on ahead!
Come, come, bring along your money
And we’ll show you a homestead,

Now, you need not mind what the old settlers may say
For they are but trying to scare you away
Indeed, they may tell you of dry seasons they’ve had
And, to be sure, that all sounds very bad
When o’er those lone prairies for water and hay
From their homes they had to go many miles away
Ah! to our own selves we may know very well
True facts that we can’t quite afford to tell

But come, come, and we’ll show you
What fortunes you’ll make:
Come, come, hand us a few dollars
And we’ll show you the stakes
Oh! hear the whistle blow!
Seel the train is coming so
Hurry and we’ll come on ahead
Come, come, be among the first
And we’ll show you & precious (7) bomestead
