Plains Folk: ‘Hell in Texas’
A lot of ballads originated somewhere on the plains, notably Kansas, and traveled south to become identified in the public mind with Texas. “The Cowboy’s Lament,” for instance, and “Home on the Range.” In 1912, however, a Texas folksong somehow made its way to Kansas. In the Udall Times of 6 September 1912 there appeared four stanzas, eight lines each, of the song, “Hell in Texas.” It’s a mystery just how it got to Kansas. A dry goods storekeeper from Mulvane, Charles F. Drennon, gave it to the Udall editor for publication.
