The Mormon King by G.W. Anderson

The following little ditty was posted on a discussion board by an LDS apologist. It's pretty funnny, even if it isn't very flattering of old Brigham.

LYRICS
THE MORMON
KING.

Words by G. W. ANDERSON, Irish Vocalist.

Air--King of the Cannibal Islands.

Oh hark kind friends while I do sing,
About Brigham Young the Mormon King,
Who swears that he'll do everything,
Out in Salt Lake City.

He also says we'll rue the day,
That e'er we came into his way,
For all of us he'll surely slay.
Out in Salt Lake City.

Poor Brigham's mind it can't be right,
Or else he's surely lost his sight,
To think he'd a Yankee 'fright,
Away from Salt Lake City.

CHORUS...........Old Brigham mind your P's and Q's,
Or we will show you what to do,
If we get our hands on you,
Out in Salt Lake City.

Old Brigham he has somewhere's near,
About seventy wives and children dear,
Oh Lor' they must be very queer,
Out in Salt Lake City.

They say their children are quite tall,
And like their father loudly squall,
And often make old Brigham bawl,
Out in Salt Lake City.

If that's the case some future day,
We'll make him bawl another way,
For his motley crew we'll surely slay,
Out in Salt Lake City.

Old Brigham must'nt think we are fools,
To be knocked about like wooden stools,
But we will let him know our rules,
Out in Salt Lake City.

If any fuss he goes to make,
The whole of his city we will take,
And then fasten him unto a stake,
Out in Salt Lake City.

If we get old Brigham in our paws,
We'll make close his heavenly jaws,
And let him know that we've got laws.
For old Salt Lake City.
