Texas Blues Songtext
von Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

Oh, yeah
The same old Texas Blues
Come in here, Lee, tell us all about it, boy

I heard a lonely coyote a-howling for his mate (yes)
I took the blues and packed my shoes and left the Lone Star state (oh, no)
I thought if I could ride away I would lose the blues
But I found out that Texas soil is sticking to my shoes (uh-huh, thought so)
I′m heading back I got the Texas blues (oh, yeah)

Skiddie, you heard what I said boy?
Dirty, dirty!

You piano pounding


You got that boy

I don't know why it happens when I open up my mouth
Some critter looks and hollers, "Hey, are you from the south?" (oh)
They laugh at all my how-you-all′s each time that I speak
And what's more this foreign soil is burning both my feet
I'm heading back I got the Texas blues (haw)

Billie
Well, alright boys


They showed me all their cities with their buildings way up high
They′re built that way to swing and sway and dust out all the sky
They got me out of Texas so I could really see
Hey, but they′ll play the dickens getting Texas out of me (again)
I'm heading back I got the Texas blues
