Artist/Band: Lyle Lovett
Lyrics for Song: Texas River Song
Lyrics for Album: Step Inside This House [1998]



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.



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...
