a Ballad on the Border
Revived fo '
r the Rookie
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGION WRITTEN BY AN ARMY SERGEANT 30
YEARS AGO IS ABOUT WHAT NEW SOLDIER FINDS
THE PLACE NOW.
Brownsville, Tex., July 10.—A ballad descriptive of the Rio Grande 30 years
120 has been revived for the rookie soldiers now getting their tirst taste of bor
der life. The author was an army Sergeant whose name appears tohave been
Jrgotten. The ballad was widely quoted by border garrisons at the time it
was printed and, in the main, it appears to rookies encamped at a distance
rom the irrigated districts to hold good today. The original title was ‘“Hell on
the Rio Grande.” The ballad follows:
The devil, we're told, in hell was chained,
And a thousand years he there remained;
He never complained, nor did he groan,
But determined to start a hell of his own,
Where he could torment the souls of men
Without being chained in a prison pen.
So he asked the Lord if He had oin hand
Anything left when he made the land.
The Lord said: “Yes, T had plent cn hand,
But I left it down on the Rio Grande;
The first is, old boy, the stuft is so poor
[ don't think you could use it in itell any more.”
But the devil went down to look at the truck; '
And said if it came as a gift he was stuck;
lor, after examining it carefully ana well,
He concluded the place was too dry for hell.
So in order to get it off his hands,
The Lord promised the devil to water the lands;
For he had some water, or rather some dregs,
A regular cathartic that simelled like bad eggs.
2 Hence the deal was closed and the deed was given,
And the Lord went back to His home in heaven: |
And the devil thensaid: “I have all that is needed |
To make a good hell,” and hence he succeeded. |
He began to put thorns out on the trees
And he mixed the sand with millions of fleas;
He scattered tarantulas along all the roads;
Put thorns on the cacti and horns on the toads.
He lengthened the horns of the r'exas steers,
And he put an addition on the jackrabbits’ ears;
And he put a little devil in the broncho steed,
And he poisoned the feet of the centipede.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings,
The mosquito delights you with buzzing wings;
The sand burrs prevail and so <o the ants,
And those who sit down need half-soles on their pants.
The devil then said that throughont the land
He'd managed to keep up the devil's own brand,
And all would be mavericks unless they bore
The marks of scratches and bits and thorns by fthe score.
The heat in the summer is a hundred and ten, :
Too hot for the devil and too hot for men.
The wild boar roams through the black chaparrel—
It’s a hell of a place he has for a hell.
The red pepper grows upon the banks of the brook;
The Mexicans use it in all that they cook.
Just dine with a greaser and then you will shout:
“I've hell on the inside as well as ilie out.”
