Texas Lullaby

By: David Allan Coe and Ann McGowan

SEE THOSE TUMBLEWEEDS A-BLOWING'

LORD, IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY

IT REMINDS ME OF MY DADDY

AND THAT TEXAS LULLABY

SEE THOSE CACTUS FLOWERS BLOOMING'

LIKE THE TWINKLE IN HIS EYE

EVERY TIME HE STARTED SINGING' THAT OLE TEXAS LULLABY

YIPPEE YI LITTLE DOGGIE ROLL ALONG ROLL ALONG

YIPPEE YI LITTLE DOGGIE TAKE ME HOME, TAKE ME HOME

IT'S SO COLD ON THE DESERT, I'M CHILLED TO THE BONE



YIPPEE YI LITTLE DOGGIE, YIPPEE YI

LOOK YONDER THERE'S A DUST CLOUD PAINTING PICTURES IN THE SKY

DADDY TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT, IN THAT TEXAS LULLABY

THEM OLE LONGHORNS ARE A BALLWIN', LORD I KNOW I MUST BE HIGH

WISH MY DAD COULD HEAR ME SINGING' THIS OLD TEXAS LULLABY

DADDY LEFT ME THIS OLD GUITAR, THOUGH I NEVER QUITE KNEW WHY

HE SAID SOMEDAY I'D BE FAMOUS LIKE THAT TEXAS LULLABY

BUT IT'S BEEN A MONTH OF SUNDAYS SINCE I SEEN THAT EDGE FLY

AND NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO A TEXAS LULLABY
