[Verse 1]
William Brown
A tobacco man
Left North Carolina
When he sold his land
He took a train
To Omaha
Stayed there with some friends he had

[Chorus]
And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he didn't miss home

[Verse 2]
He liked the people
And he liked the town
So he built himself a house beside the river
And he sent for his children
And he sent for his cars
And he bought a little business
That would run itself

[Chorus]
And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he never missed home
