RIVERS OF TEXAS



We crossed the broad Pecos, we forded the Nueces

Swum the Guadalupe, we followed the Brazos

Red River runs rusty, the Wichita clear

But down by the Brazos I courted my dear



Li li li lee lee lee, give me your hand

Li li li lee lee lee, give me your hand

Li li li lee lee lee, give me your hand

There's many a river that waters the land



The sweet Angelina runs glossy and gliding

The crooked Colorado runs weaving and winding

The slow San Antonio courses the plain

But I never will walk by the Brazos again



The girls on Little River, they're plump and they're pretty

The Sabine and Sulphur have many a beauty

And down by the Natchez there's girls by the score

But I never will walk by the Brazos no more



She hugged me and kissed me and called me her dandy

The Trinity is muddy, the Brazos quick sandy

I hugged her and kissed her and called her my own

But down by the Brazos she left me alone
