As recorded by LEE MORSE:

Sing a song of my home in Texas
Sing a song for the Lone Star State
Where a feller can fight and make love ev'ry night
Sing me a song of Texas

All the steers have long horns in Texas
And gazebos grow six feet tall
All the girls are so sweet, it's a pleasure to meet
Anyone from my home in Texas

(Yodel)

Sing a song of my home in Texas
The state of my Grandad's birth
And I wouldn't exchange my old home on the range
For any fair place on this earth

All the men wear big hats in Texas
And you'll see plenty spurs and boots
And the tallest galoots are all in cahoots
Just singin' this song for Texas

(Yodel)

If you ever are down in Texas
Say 'Hello' to my folks down home
Tell them how lonesome I am for that starlit sky
And sing 'em this song for Texas

As recorded by THE MERRY MACS:


Sing me a song of Texas
Sing a song of the Lone Star State
Where a feller can fight and make love ev'ry night
Oh, sing me a song of Texas

All the steers have long horns in Texas
And gazebos grow six feet tall
And the girls are so sweet, it's a pleasure to meet
Anyone from the state of Texas

Sing me a song of Texas
Where the cowboys are lean and strong
Though their legs may be bowed, they're as straight as the raod
That runs through the state of Texas

I love the open prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
And I wouldn't exchange my old shack on the range
For a palace outside of Texas

Sing me a song of Texas
Sing a song of the Lone Star State
Where a chuck wagon means biscuits, bacon and beans
For cowboys who ride in Texas

I miss the folks in Texas
And I dream of them all day long
And when I'm feelin' punked, on my banjo I plunk
And I dream me a song of Texas

I'm gonna slip, slide, walk, glide
Any old way to get there
Back to my home in Texas
