Alkali 1908

Way cross the plains
near the far'way hills
there lived a cowboy bold
and his name was Bronco Bill,
He loved a maid
and she loved him too,
and ev'ry night
this maid he'd woo.
Said Bill to her:
"Dear, soon I must go
Far 'cross the hills to Idaho!"
She said: "Return Bill.
Don't say goodbye."
Then she heard Bill reply:

Alkali, my darkeyed Alkali,
I know that you'll be true.
And when I return
then I'll have dough to burn
and I can marry my Alkali.

Alkali, my darkeyed Alkali,
I know that you'll be true.
And when I return
then I'll have dough to burn
and I can marry my Alkali.

Down from the hills
to the dusty plain
Bill to his maid
came riding home again,
Out on the sand
in the evening air,
This little maid
stood waiting there.
She saw him coming;
that's Bill I know,
he's coming back from Idaho!
As he rode nearer
that old refrain
came clearer o'er the plain.

Alkali, my darkeyed Alkali,
I know that you'll be true.
And when I return
then I'll have dough to burn
and I can marry my Alkali.

Alkali, my darkeyed Alkali,
I know that you'll be true.
And when I return
then I'll have dough to burn
and I can marry my Alkali.
