Hog butcher for the world, toolmaker, stacker of wheat player with railroads and the nation's freight handler. Stormy husky brawling city of the big shoulders. They tell me you are wicked. And I believe them for, I've seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. And they tell me you are crooked and I answer yes, it is true. I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.
