Texas Across The River
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
Texas across the river
Where my wandrin' days I'll bid goodbye
Just the sound of Texas
Gits me "boom" in the solar plexis
It's enough to make a grown man cry!
Texas across the river
Don't need signs to tell ya where you're at
Ain't a trace of shade there
Seems the only real shade that's made there
Is the shade that's underneath your hat!
Texas across the river
Where your name is Tex or Sam or Slim
I just got to ride there
Gotta git to the other side there
I just hope 'n' pray my horse can swim!
Texas across the river
Where they treat a stranger fair and square
They may rob and loot me
They can stab me or even shoot me
I'll be smilin' if they plant me there!
'Cross the river to Texas
'Cross the river to Texas
And I'll nevermore roam
Makin' Texas my home!
Makin' Texas my home!...
