Farewell to Oklahoma.
(January, J907.)
I bid farewell tp Oklahoma,
Of thee, I've had my fill;
I'll leave yon now forever,
If it is God's Holy Will.
I'll go to a better country
And that's not hard to And,
For you're no place to live in,
Only good for a lunatic's mind.
I'll go to a land of corn and
swine,
Like tlii- Prodigal Son of old,
And if ever 1 return to thee,
I'll have bags filled with gold.
I'll go to a Western Country,
Things are not done by halves;
They havegreat herds of cattle
I'll get sonic sheep or calves.
Then fare thee well Oklahoma
I'll make to thee a vow;
I will leave you now forever,
I have no use for you now.

Prodigal Son Returns.
(January, 1914.)
To you, my beloved Oklahoma
I'm returning now, to thee;
The land that's tried and good
The home of the brave and free.
I wandered far from thy coun-
try,
To a desert and barren plain.
And now i am returning.
To my first love again.
1 am returning now to thee,
Like the Prodigal Son (if old.
And now all I ask of then
Is to he taken into thy fold.
1 do not expect the fatted calf,
Or he clothed in raiment bright;
I want to live at peace in thee
In a way that's good and right.
And now to thee I makf
vow,
I will leave thee never more,
I ntil Gabriel blows his horn.
And 1 pass to the other shore.
