THE TEXAS BLUES
I went off to Texas
On a whim and a prayer
I went off to Texas
I lost my faith down there.
|
Way down there in Texas
Them boys be rustlin' cattle
Way down there in Texas
Them boys be doin' battle.
|
They got some boys down there
That'll turn your head around
They got some boys down there
That'll run your high hopes down.
|
CHORUS
So, mamma, tell your boys
If they be Texas bound
Please, mamma, tell your boys
About the things I found.
|
When I went to Texas
I loved my job and my wife
By the time I left Texas
They'd both stabbed me with a knife.
|
They got pretty women
Driving big automobiles
They got pretty women
And every one of them steals.
