ALL THAT'S KENTUCKY



Now " united" here in Texas,
       "we stand" together all;
No chance around the festal board
      of "divided, we fall."
But before I close these verses,
      I would vote our thanks to Fate,
For the noble men and women
      who made our grand State great.
Dan Boone, who first discovered
      the rolling bluegrass land;
Shelby, Clark and Harrison,
      who followed in his band;
Menefee, Clay and Crittenden
      are names we love to praise-
To George Prentice and " Marse Henry"
      loudest paans raise.
And later on, when bloody strife
      divided all, so hearty
Kentucky gave to North and South
      a leader to each party.
Lincoln, the martyr of the North,
      with love for South so tender,
Our great and glorious Davis
      was the Southern Rights defender.
Irvin Cobb, John Fox, Lane Allen,
      we rank among the great;
Charles Buck and Ingram Crockett
      are crowding at the gate,
                  276
