Texas River Song Lyrics

We crossed the wild Pecos
We forded the Nueces
We swum the Guadalupe
And we followed the Brazos.

Red River runs rusty
The Wichita clear
But down by the Brazos
I courted my dear.

Singing li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
There's many a river
That waters the land.

Now the fair Angelina
Runs glossy and gliding
the crooked Colorado
Runs weaving and winding.
Lyle Lovett - Texas River Song - http://motolyrics.com/lyle-lovett/texas-river-song-lyrics.html
The slow San Antonio
Courses and plains
But I never will walk
By the Brazos again.

She kissed me and she hugged me
And she called me her dandy
The Trinity's muddy
But the Brazos quick sandy.

She kissed me and she hugged me
And she called me her own
But down by the Brazos
She left me alone.

Now the girls of Little River
They're plump and they're pretty
The Sabine and the Sulphur
Hold beauties a'many.

The banks of the Neches
There are girls by the score
But down by the Brazos
I'll wander no more...
