5976. I CEDED THIS TERRITORY TO KANSAS

I CEDED THIS 
TERRITORY TO KANSAS
And I am a slaver by trade. Doesn't that make 
me awesome? I took my fourteen steps across 
the border just to claim the land, and then they 
gave me a mule and some more. My formal training 
was in cracking safes  -  along along the wagon trail 
my name was known. Even those team-drivers, with 
their riding guards and six-gun meanings were no 
match for me. When I reach the wagon, boys, there's 
no security left, and it's already too late. Hide your 
money where you may, but leave it at the gate.
You say you rode along with Chisholm and the
railroad's gonna' be the death of me? Well,
maybe so but I ain't worried. There's still
a lot of me you'll see. Open season in
the mine.
