Fort Leavenworth is in fact no fort, being without defensive works, except two block-houses.

Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind
Cold fort worth beer just aint no good for jealous
Ive tried it night after night
Youre in someone elses arms in dallas
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
Darlin while youre busy burnin bridges
Burn one for me if you get time
Cause good memories dont fade so easy
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in dallas
And I know ithurt you at the time
Well I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
Well I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
Does fort worth ever, does fort worth ever
Does fort worth ever cross your mind

A military road led from this point to Fort Leavenworth, and for many miles the farms and cabins of the Delawares were scattered at short intervals on either hand.

Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
Girls on the beaches commit a sin
They dont show yards and yards of skin
Preceding message to you has been
Through the courtesy of the fort lauderdale chamber of commerce
Maybe your yen is for tennis courts
Maybe romancing is in your thoughts
Enjoy all outdoor and indoor sports
Through the courtesy of the fort lauderdale chamber of commerce
Any male in fort lauderdale who is not pursuing a cute female
Will automatically land in jail
Thats the law in fort lauderdale
Pretty girls eighteen to twenty-three
If their technique aint what it should be
Get love instruction for free from me
Through the courtesy of the fort lauderdale chamber of commerce

Even someone who works with me, like this girl who works with me, her name is Sue. She lives with me and holds the fort; she takes care of all these little things. She takes care of the money situation, and I would not be able to live without someone like that.

On That Day
Some people say
Its what we deserve
For sins against g-d
For crimes in the world
I wouldnt know
Im just holding the fort
Since that day
They wounded New York
Some people say
They hate us of old
Our women unveiled
Our slaves and our gold
I wouldnt know
Im just holding the fort
But answer me this
I wont take you to court
Did you go crazy
Or did you report
On that day
On that day
They wounded New York

J'aime un gars
Mon amour est fort,
Mon cœur est grand,
Qu'est-ce que je donnerais,
Pour vous tenir,
Est inimaginable.
J'aime un gars,
Qui est fort et courageux.
J'aime un gars,
Qui est gentil et intelligent.
J'aime un gars,
Qui est aimable et doux.
J'aime un gars,
Qui peut parler français et à chanter.
Mon amour est fort,
Mon cœur est grand,
Qu'est-ce que je donnerais,
Pour vous tenir,
Est inimaginable.
J'aime un gars,
Qui peut dessiner et assurer ma sécurité.
J'aime un gars,
Qui est beau et convivial.
Je lve un gars,
Qui aime les animaux.
J'aime un gars,
Qui peut me balayer mes pieds.
J'aime un gars,
Qui m'aime,
Pour moi.

Coyote Visits a Fort (Native American)
Coyote and Dog watched the fort from the hill.
“I have everything I need in my new home, ”
Dog said. “Come, I will show you what to do.”
They walked past the guard at the stockade gate.
The fort was dusty and full of human noise.
They had to be alert for hooves and boots.
Dog drank from a muddy puddle, then showed
The stables where he slept. A boy threw a rock.
Coming to the kitchen, Dog wagged his tail.
He gazed up hopefully at a man cutting meat.
He whimpered and rubbed against the man’s leg.
The man gave Dog a scrap and shooed him away.
Coyote watched more, then grabbed a slab of bacon,
Left by a hole in the fence, and returned to his family.

Wounded Knee Creek
Crazy Horse, War Chief of the Sioux Indians of the North American plains, was murdered by white soldiers on September 5th,1877. He was 35.
Soldiers from Fort Robinson came smiling
Pretending friendship to Crazy Horse
Offering the Sioux a lasting peace treaty
But only if the War Chief returned with them.
Trusting lies of those who never honoured any treaty
Crazy Horse rode unarmed into the fort
They barred the gates and held him by the arms
While private William Gentles bayoneted him twice.
Parents of Crazy Horse came to the fort
Took away the body of their warrior son
Secretly buried his majestic heart
At a place called Wounded Knee Creek.
American history records the Indian nations were finally defeated by white soldiers at a place called Wounded Knee Creek on December 29,1890. But it was a massacre. The Indians had surrendered. They were unarmed prisoners when the soldiers opened fire.300 men, women and children were killed.4 men, and 47 women and children survived.

The Brave Volunteer
At the time of the rebellion
Between the north and south,
Many a noble volunteer
Kent county did send out.
Among them was Chyler Davis,
He hailed from Oakfield town,
He enlisted in the service,
His native land to shield.
This brave and noble volunteer,
He left his home and friends,
For he dearly loved his country,
He went from Michigan.
Not thinking when he went down south,
The Federal ranks to fill,
That he would lay in prisons,
Belle Isle to Andersonville.
In prison cells lamenting,
For seventeen months he lay,
Thinking of the dear ones
At home so far away.
He lay in prison suffering,
No friend to hear him moan,
A living, walking skeleton,
He was when he came home.
He was discharged in Kansas,
The place called Fort Leavenworth,
And he did return to Oakfield,
The place he first went forth.
How joyful were his parents
When they saw their then lost one;
The God of heaven was merciful
To let return their son.

Rien De Ce Que J'ai Vcu
Com' une feuille morte - que le vent d'hiver emporte
Je vole la drive - je vogue vers d'autres rives
Jamais je n'aurais pu croire - que j'en arriv'rais l
Je tourne en rond dans le noir - oui - et je ne pens' plus qu' toi
Comment pourrais-je te l'expliquer? Et par o commencer?
Dis-moi ou aller - tout a chang
Rien de ce que j'ai vcu - ne m'invite aimer
Rien de tout ce que i'ai vu - ne m'incite rester
Mais je suis l - j' n attends que toi
Et je perds - mes repres - dis-moi o est ma terre
Eh - c'est si fort et a ne ressemble - oh non
A rien de ce que j'ai vcu
Tu es celle que j'attendais
Celle qu'il me tallait
Tu es celle qui me donne - une raison d'esprer
J'ai suivi une toile - qui m'a conduit vers toi
Je me sens si fort - pourquoi aurais-je tort?
Rien de ce que j'ai vcu - ne m'invite aimer
Rien de tout ce que j'ai vu - ne m'incite rester
Mais je suis l - j' n attends que toi
Et je perds - mes repres - dis-moi o est ma terre
Eh - c'est si fort et a ne ressemble - oh non
A rien de ce que j'ai vcu
A rien de ce que j'ai vcu
Com' une feuille morte - que 1' vent d'hiver emporte Je vole la drive - je vogue vers d'autres rives

Je sais que tu es très fort
Tu ne crains rien
Tu écoutes attentivement
Tu regards et tu admires
Et surtout tu mémorises tout
Hier quand tu étais malade
Je t’ai admire toute la nuit
Ton visage était très fâché
Tes mains et tes pieds bougeaient
Comme quelqu’un qui veut détruire
Un ennemie ou un obstacle
Tu grondais la maladie pour s’enfuir
Et jamais revenir
Car tu es un homme sévère et pure
Car tu es un homme fort et brave
Car tu es un homme et pas un enfant
Tu as pris mon doigt et tu la serré fortement
Comme que tu voudras me dire de ne pas inquiète, je veux guerire
En ce temps j’ai ferme mes yeux un peu car je crois que tu vas réussir
Oui tu vas combattre la maladie…
Saint Charbel soit avec toi mon cœur
