A Kentucky Gentleman of the Old School. A Relic Of A Class Almost Extinct. (Printed verso reads: "Who e'er has traveled Life's dull round. Where e'r his Stages may have been. May smile, to think he still has found, His dearest friends all welcome him." "HERE'S TO OLD KENTUCKY'. Here's to old Kentucky, where you never have the blues. Where the Captains kill the Colonels and the Colonels kill the booze. Blood, it flows like water and bullets fly like hail. Every pistol has a pocket and every coat, it has a tail. You start out in the morning to heve your health a chance, And they bring you home at midnight with buckshot in your pants; They always hang the Jury but they never hang the man. You call a man a liar and then, get home if you can. The owl's afraid to holler and the birds don't dare to sing. For it's hell in old Kentucky, where they shoot 'em on the wing.")
