If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fi

(Murry Kellum - Dan Mitchell)



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man

So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.



I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show

When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, Cotton-Eyed Joe!

He said, We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong

There's just somethin' missin' in your song.



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man

So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight

Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case

Say y'all all wanna two-stepm say ya wanna doe-si-doe

Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man

So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
