On the highways and the turnpikes You can hear their wagons hum, For their comin' back to Kansas, And they're comin' on the run. Who's a-comin' back to Kansas? 1 Why, the migratory crowd Who left the state some months ago With curses long and loud; And they swore by the Eternal That they never would return To this Kansas land infernal, Where the hot winds blast and bum, Where the rivers run in riot When they want it to be dry-Where the sun so fiercely scorches When they want a cloudy sky.

So they loaded up the children And they whistled for the dogs; Tied a cow behind the wagon, To the butcher sold the hogs; Hitched the ponies to the schooner, Turned her prow toward the east, Left this beastly State of Kansas, For ft land of fat and feast, Did they find It? Naw. they didn't! Though they roamed the country o'er, From the lakes up in the Northland To the far-off ocean shore; And they found that other sections Had their tales of woe to sing; Bo they're humpin' now for Kansas At the breakln' forth of spring.
