THE COYOTEVILLE PEACE MEETING
WE held a peace convention in Coyoteville last night,
A reg'lar Haygue Tribunal fer order, law, an' right,
Fer we'd about concluded that fightin' come too free
An' municipal conditions wasn't all they ought to be.
"Dad" Sykes had been to Denver an' Blake to Omaha,
An' they come back a-preachin' of the sights which they had saw,
How no one carried weepons an' folks was nice an' mild.
An', compared with them there cities, Coyoteville was wild.
