My Texas Girl
All my life I've wondered
If what I done was wrong
All I ever cared to do
Was ride my pony on
I never had no heartache
Was always happy and free
Until I met a Texas girl
Who stole my heart away
Where the sleepy Rio Grande
Goes slowly to the sea
It was there she promised to be mine
Throughout eternity
But the angels they grew jealous
Of her beauty and her smile
And came along one stormy night
And stole away my bride
The birds have hushed their singing
Sadness is over the land
The birds miss my darling
By the sleepy Rio Grande
Her lips were like the Russian wine
Her hair it hung in curls
Her cheeks were like the dawn of day
That breaks upon the world
She's gone and left me lonely
I miss the touch of her hand
Tonight while I am walking
By the sleepy Rio Grande
If what I done was wrong
All I ever cared to do
Was ride my pony on
I never had no heartache
Was always happy and free
Until I met a Texas girl
Who stole my heart away
Where the sleepy Rio Grande
Goes slowly to the sea
It was there she promised to be mine
Throughout eternity
But the angels they grew jealous
Of her beauty and her smile
And came along one stormy night
And stole away my bride
The birds have hushed their singing
Sadness is over the land
The birds miss my darling
By the sleepy Rio Grande
Her lips were like the Russian wine
Her hair it hung in curls
Her cheeks were like the dawn of day
That breaks upon the world
She's gone and left me lonely
I miss the touch of her hand
Tonight while I am walking
By the sleepy Rio Grande
