Written on location dedicated to Zilker Parks founder Andrew Zilker

 

13.04.11 - 39) He came to Austin without a cent

To make a fortune was his intent

Of work he was not scared

Doing whatever he dared

Working whenever able

Clothes on his back, food on the table

As one would expect

For his fellow workers he had respect

Became wealthy and still cared

for the poor his fortune shared

Made a better situation

Provided a means for education

Then with the wealth that hard work brings

He went and purchased Barton Springs

In a move that well went down

Deeded it to the people of Austin town

Now enjoyed from dawn till dark

Named in his memory Zilker Park
