IT GETS RESULTS
A GOOD TOWN
It’s mostly a bunch of tumbled
down huts,
And the place is overrun with In
dian mutts;
And most of the grub comes
packed in tin;
But it’s a damn good town for
the shape it's in.
The weather is cold—damn cold.
I’ll say;
And the long winter lasts from
October to May;
Most of the shacks have a roof
fallen in;
It’s a damn good town for the
shape it’s in.
The people all knock and gossip
like hell;
And must be excused for the
tales they tell;
To do as they do’s an unpardon
able sin;
But it’s a damn good town for
the shape it’s in.
The town’s divided by two social
lots—
Those that are in and those that
are not;
In knocking each other there’s a
hell of a din; Z.
