MY FAREWELL TO NEBRASKA.
Now friends here in Nebraska state,
Doh't put it off until too late:-
To seek a good and quiet home,
But emigrate to Oregon, .
80 near the great Pacific Coast."
In summer time you will hot roast;
The winters there are short and mild
Can be endured by any child. "
The 'Cascades and the Mountain
- Blue, !..-";
Afford protection and scenery, too;
But cyclone caves do not adorn
The healthy state of Oregon.
For health no other Btate excels;
But twenty feet they dig their wells;
To bore a hundred feet or more : '
Would be to find the precious ore.
The valleys there are long and wide,
And friends can live there side by
':' '. aide: r.:. , v '"
At fortune too for everyone
In the state of Oregon, '
Through many states I've traveled
Went ..... .. . . . . "'; .
But Oregon I think the best.
Most any thing that can be grown, .
Grows la the slate of Oregon. . '
Now. do not doubt my story true,
But emigrate, 'tis best for you, .
To Enterprise; the thriving town
lm the state of Oregon.
If once you'd see their fields of
grain.
You would not then longer remain
Upon a "poor Nebraska farm;
You'd emigrate to Oregon.
'Tla there the streams with fish
. , abound,
And their farms the game surround;
So hind me down my good old gun
For . I am bound for Oregon.
The cyclone does not there appear,
Of storms neither dread nor fear.
The clouds doth give but gentle rain
Upon the fields of goldeni grain.
The people are as good and kind
As in any state that you may find;
So my advice to everyone
Is, Emigrate to Oregon.
The hot winds do not there prevail,
Your crops are not beat down by
i . bail.,
And lightning does not flash around
In the state of Oregon.
Now after my advice to you,
i'llj bid Nebraska state adieu;
So hand me down my good old gum
Pot I am bound for Oregon.
