William Brown

William Brown, a tobacco man 
Left North Carolina when he sold his land
He took a train to Omaha 
Stayed there with some friends he had 

And he didn't mind the dust 
And he didn't mind the wind 
And he didn't mind the cold 
And he didn't miss home 

And he liked the people 
And he liked the town 
So he built himself a house beside the river 

And he sent for his children 
And he sent for his cars 
And he bought himself a little business that would run itself 

And he didn't mind the dust 
And he didn't mind the wind 
And he didn't mind the cold 
And he didn't miss home
