And the time to go to Houston is almost here; So bring along your wives, and sweet-hearts as well, And the time we will have is difficult to tell. Chorus. We are going to Houston to that Convention Hall, We are going to Houston, so come one and all, Wo are going to Houston, you will be treated right, There will be a hot time in Houston that night, We will talk about oil, and how to make bright cake, And how to run a mill and never make a break, And how to cook meal and have it turn out fine. And how to run the press and keep it in time. C horus. The people of Houston, they are all right, They will feed us on turkeys, and show us the sights; We will sample their beer and smoke good cigars, And glide the city on their Palace cars. Chorus. To any Supcx.^iendent that lives in the Stute, So go down in your pockets and dig up the dough; To attend this convention you have a good show. Chorus. Now the supply man will be there, with his little cash, And on the ladies he will try to make a mash; He will take the Superintendents around at a rapid gait, But never mind that for Jones, he pays the freight. Chobus. Now you young men that want to get on top, Just go to studying and rub up vour knot, And come to the front, now don’t be afraid, To stand examination and mak« a good grade. Ch o r us.
