Kingston Trio - Texas Across The Tiver lyrics

rate me

Sammy Cahn/James Van Heusen

Texas across the river where my wandrin' days I'll bid goodbye.

Just the sound of Texas gets me "boom" in the solar plexus

It's enough to make a grown man cry.

Texas across the river. Don't need signs to tell you where you're at.

Ain't a trace of shade there. Think the only real shade that's made there,

Is the shade that's underneath your hat.

Texas across the river. Texas, Where your name is Tex, or Slick, or Slim

I've just got to get there, got to get to the other side there,

I just hope and pray my horse can swim.

Cross the river to Texas, that's where I belong. I'll never more roam.
