Santa Got Lost in Texas Songtext
I was riding herd one night
All on a Christmas Eve
When I saw a spooky sight
One you′d never believe
All tuckered out and bone tired weary
Santa Claus came my way
Draggin' his reindeer ′cross the prairie
Hitched to a big red sleigh
Santa got lost in Texas
And didn't know how to leave
Santa got lost in Texas
All on a Christmas Eve
"Sit right down and rest", I said
"Here by the campfire's glow"
"Share my coffee, beans and bread"
"′Fore you have to go"
"You′re pretty dumb like me", he said
"To work in the winter frost"
"I'm pretty dumb like you", I said
"But Mister, I ain′t lost"
Santa got lost in Texas
And didn't know how to leave
Santa got lost in Texas
All on a Christmas Eve
"I been riding along", says he
"Lookin′ for just one guy"
"Texas is too big for me"
"Too durn wide and high"
"I'm leaving you a big lone star"
"On a pair of silver spurs"
"Here in the land of cattle farming"
"My last stop was yours"
Santa got lost in Texas
And didn′t know how to leave
Santa got lost in Texas
All on a Christmas eve
So he ate my beans and bread
Drank 'til the pot was dry
"Merry Christmas son", he said
"Now I've got to fly"
"You keep watch on the herd, ol′ partner"
"Don′t let the dogies roam"
"I'll just send for a Texas norther"
"It′ll blow me home"
Santa got lost in Texas
And when he said goodbye
He left the star of Texas
A-blazing in the sky
As long as there's a Christmas
And cowboys on the plain
Santa will come to Texas
And never get lost again
He′ll never get lost again
Ha, ha, alright Pa, a deal's a deal, let′s hear your Swedish ditty
All on a Christmas Eve
When I saw a spooky sight
One you′d never believe
All tuckered out and bone tired weary
Santa Claus came my way
Draggin' his reindeer ′cross the prairie
Hitched to a big red sleigh
Santa got lost in Texas
And didn't know how to leave
Santa got lost in Texas
All on a Christmas Eve
"Sit right down and rest", I said
"Here by the campfire's glow"
"Share my coffee, beans and bread"
"′Fore you have to go"
"You′re pretty dumb like me", he said
"To work in the winter frost"
"I'm pretty dumb like you", I said
"But Mister, I ain′t lost"
Santa got lost in Texas
And didn't know how to leave
Santa got lost in Texas
All on a Christmas Eve

"Lookin′ for just one guy"
"Texas is too big for me"
"Too durn wide and high"
