ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE.
Dedicated to the "Bowery" authors, who firmly believe in
a "Wild West" and who originate the dialect used below.
Down at church the other night,
A Bkypilot who wasn't vain,
Was rounding up the last sheep of Isreal,
And trying to corral 'em again.
I do not know the skypilot's brand,
A slickear he might have been;
But he rode for the soul3
Of the mavericks of the sons of men.
That when the final roundup came,
They might be safe in the corral;
Safe from the burning flames of a reserve,
lie seemed to savey well.
One day, he said, a man rode
Down Jericho's canyon steep,
When two robbers knocked off his block
And left him there asleep.
A skypilot traveling that way,
Passed by him on the trail;
A highbrow stirred up the alkali dust,
As he went by like the gale.
But a boy from the Diamond Bar,
For strays was looking there,
He from the sage brush took him then,
Upon his cayuse with tender care.
At the bunkhouse he let him down,
To the Chinee cook did say:
"Mind him well and bring him around
Before next I pass this way."
And I sat thinking of Alkali Ike,
Who's crossed to the heavenly range;
He rides the trails of the promised lands
Where the seasons never change.
From the New Jerusalem tonight,
I wonder if he's looking down,
Over the Golden Walls a hard boiled hat,
He wears with a golden crown.
A fried shirt and a sour dough tie,
With one of those bob-tail suits,
He curries his hair and on the square
Ho wears his cowboy boots. '
Out on the range he passed in his checks,
We planted him that day,
And then threw stones on his grave, you see,
So the coyotes couldn't drag him away.
Alkali was no two-gun man;
He never Bhot up the town,
Yet he never went back on a friend,
Nor turned the needy town.
And now that he's crossed the Great Divide,
Through tho shadows of dismal night;
Surely with the other he's permitted to ride,
For Alkali died white.
