POEM: \"Down in Texas\" - 1924 - MULTIVIEW:We\'re down here in old Texas,Where you never have the blues,Where the bandits steal the jitneysAnd the Marshals steal the booze;Where the buildings horn the skyline,Where the populace is boost,Where they shoot men just for pastime,Where the chickens never roost.Where the stickup men are waryAnd the bullets fall like hail;Where each pocket has a pistolAnd each pistol\'s good for jail;Where they always hang the jury,Where they never hang a man.If you call a man a liar, youGet home the best you can;Where you get up in the morningIn a world of snow and sleetAnd you come home in the eveningSuffocating in the heat;Where the jitneys whiz about youAnd the street cars barely creep;Where the burglars pick your pocketsWhile you \"lay me down to sleep;\"Where the bulldogs all have rabies,And the rabbits they have fleas;Where the big girls, like the wee ones,Wear their dresses to their knees;Where you whisk out in the morningJust to give your health a chance;Say \"Howdy\" to some fellow whoShoots big holes in your pants;Where wise owls are afraid to hootAnd birds don\'t dare to sing,For it\'s hell down here in TexasWhere they all shoot on the wing.This White Border Era postcard, mailed in 1924, is in good condition. Pub. Seawall Specialty Co. Galveston, Texas. No. 21161.
