That Clan Kill

From that fair land of anger,

where the shamrocks grow,

whiskey like tea for sippin’,

another pint one's only woe,

tougher than a boot's leather,

comes a clan oft hard to bill,

eyes blue as the morning sun,

hearty of spirit that clan Kill.

Never walked the green earth,

men holding a candle to these,

harder yet than tempered steel,

salty like a morning sea breeze.

Raised in the land Monte Verde,

the Green Mountains their home,

winters there as cold as Alaska,

just a little southeast of Gnome.

Two Vermonters come to Texas,

hearts set on puttin’ down roots,

never a sight did any Texan see,

than a Yankee in cowboy boots.

They don’t come harder to know,

some can take’em or leave’em,

I’ve never known a finer friend,

than are Malcolm and Stephen.

Helped so much by these brothers,

a debt I cannot pay owed their till,

so proud to know these fine men,

each bearing the last name of Kill.

We had a football coach here at SIU with that same last name...maybe related?
Vermonters in Texas is an interesting concept. I spent much time in both states.
