Hello, Nebraska! Lyrics


Goodnight, Texas Hello, Nebraska!

Franklin James, Franklin James
He was a child of the plains
His father died while giving birth
His mother lived for chasing trains

He built two tombstones with a saw
Just to fit his ma and pa
Haven't seen them in many years
Since I've been gone from Omaha

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal

Jimmy Goose, Jimmy Goose
He hit his head, knocked something loose
Ran for office with pocket kings
Got caught with a seven deuce
(He won the election)

Now, I won't tell you what I saw
Let's just say he broke the law
Haven't seen him in many years
Since I've been gone from Omaha

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal
Go on now

Sally Ann, Sally Ann
She kissed like a girl but cursed like a man
I heard she married very young
To someone in the Klu Klux Klan

But I bet she never told him though
Her first love was with a negro
I wonder what they'd think of that
The thought of loving someone black
And someone black loving you back

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal

Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
Hello, Nebraska (hello)
My old pal
