When you're traveling far and near.
Seeking knowledge or good cheer.
Make a visit e'er you're done
To the town of Lexington.
Some folks hardly realize.
Till awakened by surprise.
Of the wonders 'neath the sun
In the town of Lexington.
Men are there from every nation
To complete their education;
A better college there is none,
Than in the town of Lexington.
If you're looking for a wife
To help you climb the hill of life.
Girls are perfect, every one,
In the town of Lexington.
If you like the racing horse,
Pay a visit to the course;
But the money's never won
In the town of Lexington.
There they make the fighting booze,
And your head you'll surely lose,
If when "full" you draw a gun
In the town of Lexington.
When life's battles I have won.
And my work on earth is done,
Gently lower me with the sun,
In the town of Lexington.
