The Ozark TrailO'er the plains of sunny Kansas, Between the fields of ripening grain, Traverses the famous highway, The Ozark mountain trail. And extends through Arkansas, Where cotton often grows as tall As wheat and corn in Kansas, In the valley of Neosho, The Verdigris and the Kaw. When you reach the Ozark mountains, Then you will learn something about The hospitality of the people, Their streams and speckled trout, To drink from nature's fountains Will at once quench your thirst, Then you will love Missouri For her rivers and her rock. Way down in beautiful Oklahoma And Texas lonely pines, Winds the Ozark trail of promise Where they are drilling now for oil. A trip down through the Ozarks In memory will never stale, The land where nature marvels The scenic Ozark trail. The Plains Poems in Kansas
