Goodnight, Texas - Hello, Nebraska! Lyrics

Lyrics Hello, Nebraska! - Goodnight , Texas



Franklin James, Franklin James
He was a child of the plains
His father died while giving birth
His mother lived for chasing trains
He built two tombstones with a saw
Just to fit his ma and pa
I haven't seen him in many years
Since I been gone from Omaha
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My old pal
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My ol' pal
Jimmy Goose, Jimmy Goose
He hit his head, knocked something loose
Ran for office with pocket kings and got caught with a seven deuce
(He won the election) Now I won't tell you what I saw
Let's just say he broke the law
Haven't seen him in many years
Since I've been gone from Omaha
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My old pal
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My ol' pal
Go on now
Sally Ann, Sally Ann
She kissed like a girl, cursed like a man
I heard she married very young to someone in the Klu Klux Klan
I bet she never told 'em though
Her first love was with a Negro
I wonder what they'd think of that
The thought of loving someone black
And someone black loving you back
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My old pal
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My old pal
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
Hello, Nebraska! (hello)
My ol' pal
