00:27This year
00:28Here is Dallas, Texas, the way she sits today.
00:32Down yonder there, squatting in amongst them big buildings, still standing today,
00:37is the first jail ever built in the territory of Texas.
00:41This year old jail was built to house the very first bad man in the history of Texas.
00:50I remember all this happened a long, long time ago, when Texas was young, mighty young.
01:08Even in them days, Texas was up and coming.
01:11She had her hospitals, fire department, police department, modern transportation, public
01:25telephones, colleges, cultural centers, tea rooms, and GI housing developments.
01:46Texas folks has always been neighborly.
01:49Howdy.
01:50Howdy.
01:51Howdy.
01:51How you all?
01:53Well, fine.
01:54How you all?
01:54Fine, thank you.
01:55How you all?
01:56Fine, thank you.
01:58The men had no trouble with their women in them days, except in the backseat drivers.
02:07John, slow down.
02:08Turn left.
02:09Watch that car.
02:10Slow down.
02:11Yak, yak, yak.
02:12Blab, blab, blab.
02:13Yak, yak, yak.
02:18Well, doggone.
02:21Newlyweds.
02:22Uh-oh.
02:23The mother-in-law.
02:26Texans always had good manners.
02:43Clothing was no problem at all.
02:46Everybody wore leopard skins.
02:53Everybody except the leopards.
02:57Yes, sir, everything was peaceful and happy until the day old Donna saw Dan, the first
03:03Texas bad man come a-ridin' over the hill.
03:13He rustled all our cattle.
03:19Run off all our homesteaders.
03:28Started shootin' up the town.
03:55Even shot a sheriff full of hoes.
04:11Stole our prettiest gals, too.
04:28Then he robbed all our banks.
04:37Hightailed it out of town.
04:39Get out of town.
04:56You should go.
04:57I won't recognize the eagle.
04:58Horλα, you don't make a chapter of Alice.
04:59got fired from the young man.
05:04Miss Carpenter?
05:23The posse was hot on his trail, but old Dan finally beat him to his hideout.
05:29But them Texans were smart.
05:32They knowed they couldn't get him out, so they up and left him in there.
05:36Then everybody in Dallas come a-running with their hammers and chisels.
05:48And that's how come they built the first jail in Texas one million years ago.
05:58She's still standing in Dallas today, an everlasting historical monument to the memory of old Dinosaur Dan, the first Texas
06:09bad man.
06:12And speaking of poor old Dan, before leaving, there's one question I'd like to ask of all my fellow Texans.
06:21When y'all gonna let me out of here?
06:25The End
