Chis
his is how our state was born
Of Winchester rifle and powder horn
Janey's expedition and whisper of "gold"
Heavy to get, and light to hold
Of bearded plainsman and hickory shirt
The covered wagon and crinolin skirt
Custer's men with jingling spurs
And roving adventurers
Streaming here from the ends of earth
To-give a prairie empire birth
Treaties signed, and the terrible Sioux
Yet the overland stage came through
People dead on the journey here
Others safe in old Fort Pierre
This was the way a people bold
Came seeking land-and yellow gold.
