MORMON WHEELS aka LATTER-DAY AINTS.
________
Missouri Executive Order 44, also known as the Extermination Order,[1][2] was an executive order issued on October 27, 1838, by the Governor of Missouri,Lilburn Boggs. The order was issued in the aftermath of the Battle of Crooked River, a clash between Latter Day Saints and a unit of the Missouri State Guard in northern Ray County, Missouri, during the 1838 Mormon War. Claiming that Latter Day Saints had committed open and avowed defiance of the law and had made war upon the people of Missouri, Governor Boggs directed that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description".[2] The militia and other state authorities—General John B. Clark, among them—would use the executive order to expel the Latter Day Saints from their lands in the state following their capitulation, which in turn led to the Latter Day Saint migration to Nauvoo, Illinois.

lyrics
MORMON WHEELS (aka Mormon Feet)
v1
If you had to live this way
Believe me, you’d chew off your arm -owww
If you tried to go our way
Believe us, (believe us) you wouldn’t get far
c1
All guff we get about our sister wives
(They were never a prize)
The prizes we get come from afar
(The better you are)
The better we are r-r-r-r
v2
Your wheels have to start on the ground
(We’ve got all the answers)
(If you need some answers)
If you want answers
You better get started now
But your wheels have to start on the ground
If you’re gonna get somewhere
If you’re wanna get somewhere
You better get started now
c2
All that you’ve heard
Depends on what you’re listening for
there’s more than a broken record in a record store
(“Hey Dave are you Mormon???”)
Outro
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We all have work
Let no one shirt
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
That's the way the story goes
My professor told me so
If Joseph was a businessman
Then where did his money go?
He said “your LSD is LDS…
Come ye saints for the fall
The church will make you pay your way
You must be smoking your mission call!”
“True blue, through and through”
On the side the road, Joseph answers without fear
True love of his wife
She’s one of the fold, Emma’s woman of the year
Gotta grow families and businesses
As they’re forced from town to town
They try to kill us(us) everywhere,
Is Governor Boggs or Thomas Ford around?
That’s the way the story goes
Joseph had a hat
To block the sun and angry glares
Can you imagine that?
That’s the way the story goes
they make it up as they go along
The same approach as Mr. Boggs
Missouri order 44 them all!
The bishop’s rich cause he might take
Every penny that you share
And if you don’t give all that you make
He’ll take your magic underwear!!!
True blue thru & thru…
