Alejandro Korn (3 May 1860 – 9 October 1936) was an Argentine physician, psychiatrist, philosopher, reformist and politician. For eighteen years, he was the director of the psychiaty hospital in Melchor Romero (a locality of La Plata in Buenos Aires), named as the city. He was the first university official in Latin America to be elected thanks to the student’s vote. He is considered to be the pioneer of Argentine philosophy. Along with Florentino Ameghino, Juan Vucentich, Almafuerte and Carlos Spegazzini, he is considered to be one of the five wise men of La Plata.
Alejandro Korn was born in San Vicente, Buenos Aires. His father, Carlos Adolfo Korn, was a liberal German-Prussian doctor and soldier, who had refused to take part in the repression that followed the worker’s strike in the textile sector during the Social Revolution in 1848. Sentenced to death, he fled to Switzerland on horseback. There, he studied Medicine and met his future wife, María Verena Meyer. He decided to migrate to Argentina, and there they got married. He settled down in San Vicente (Buenos Aires), where he worked as a doctor and a judge. He promoted the construction of the first flour mill and the lengthening of the railroad tracks to reach the city. He distinguished for his remarkable work fighting the cholera epidemics, and, for that reason, he was awarded by the president Domingo F. Sarmiento. When he died, in 1905, the city of San Vicente paid him homage.
When we go
I'm falling down to the river
I'm gonna climb another mountain
I'm going down to the mountain
I'm coming up from below
I'm gonna climb as high as I can
I ain't got no other place to go
Down to the river
I'm going down to the river
I'm going to spread myself around
I'm going down to the river
Spread myself around

By a show of hands
Who hates my band
When we showed up
We were what was hot
We never cooled off
We're going places you're not
No no no no
No reason to explain
You talk shit to mask
Your face full of shame
It's so easy to lose
But we decide what is hot
We never cooled off
We're going places you're not
Just tell me how much it hurt
When you fell off this shit
And looked up to the peak
And we're reaching for it
Damn right I'm cocky
Fuck yeah I have no shame
Weve been fighting to get up
Weve been fighting to make our name
They all come they all disappear
And it's time that you realized
We are still fucking here
No need to apologize
We don't need respect
We know what weve done
So why don't you save face
A Gal In Calico
Johnny Mercer
Music and Lyrics by Arthur Schwartz and Leo Robin
Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Used to be her Sunday beau til I rode away.
Do I want her, do I want her love?
Yes siree!
Will I win her, Will I win her love?
Wait and see!
Workin with a rodeo, go from town to town.
See most evry kind a gal, evry kind a gown.
But who made my heart sing
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.
Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Guess I'd better let her know that I feel this way.
Is she waitin, is she waitin?
She better be.
Am I hopin to be ropin her?
Yes siree!
Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,
Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin gown.
Then will I fence her in
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.
