William Brown, a tobacco man Left North Carolina when he sold his land He took a train to Omaha Stayed there with some friends he had And he didn´t mind the dust And he didn´t mind the wind And he didn´t mind the cold And he didn´t miss home And he liked the people And he liked the town So he built himself a house beside the river And he sent for his children And he sent for his cars And he bought himself a little business that would run itself And he didn´t mind the dust And he didn´t mind the wind And he didn´t mind the cold And he didn´t miss home
