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.

REPEAT

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.

REPEAT CHORUS

They got pretty women
Driving big automobiles
They got pretty women
And every one of them steals.

REPEAT CHORUS
