2. "Back in the Saddle Again" by Gene Autry

 

[Zorro]

2. "Out where a friend is a friend". "Where you sleep out every night and the only law is right." And, not to be picky, but it is Jimson Weed, (or jimsonweed) not gypsum. And incidentally, if a cow-critter, longhorn or otherwise did MUCH feeding on jimsonweed, it would die. Very toxic stuff. In very small doses, it can also help you see Mescalito, but this is not recommended because in very slightly larger doses, it will flat kill you. Unpleasantly. A few years back there was a jimsonweed craze among day-trippers; a lot of them aren't around anymore.

7. Are you thinking, mebbe, of carpetbaggers?

9. Mt Moriah. One of the most barbaric passages in the OT.

11 Venite adoremus Dominum.
