South Dakota Blues

by

Dr. Mark Winegar

I've got those
South Dakota Blues.
Oh Lord, those
South Dakota Blues.
I'm out of work
Feeling like a jerk.
What am I supposed do?

What do
the miners say?
Tell me, what do
The miners say?
Well there ain't no gold
And the winters are cold.
Won't you send some cash our way.

What do
The farmers fear?
Tell me, what do
The farmers fear?
Well they survived the cats
And the bureaucrats
But the corporate farms are near.

Where do
The buffalo roam?
Tell me, where does
Tatanka roam?
Well they lost the range
when the white man came
and now they have nowhere to roam.

What do
The lumberjacks say?
What do
The lumberjacks say?
Well, the lumber was good
So we chopped the wood
And hauled it all away.

What did
The Governor say?
What did
The Governor say?
A vote for me
Will set you free
On election day.

I think I'll head up
To USD,
That premiere
University.
I'll take some tests
And do my best
To earn a Ph.D.

Then, I guess
I'll play the fool.
Go ahead
And teach some school.
Yes, I'll work all day
For a little pay
Cause the student loans are due.

NEXT?
Why don't you look at In The Land of Chad!
