[1st verse:]
|
Far away out west in Texas
|
By the Rio Grande
|
There's a ranch of many acres on the prairie land
|
And I want you to be knowing
|
That's exactly where I'm going
|
In just a day or so
|
You'll see a satchel in my hand
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I got-a go back, I got-a go back
|
I got-a go back to dear old Texas
|
To the ranch I left behind
|
And the girl who's on my mind
|
I couldn't remain, I'm taking a train
|
The Southern Pacific bound for Texas
|
I'm simply aching to skeedaddle
|
Upon a horse without a saddle
|
And ev'ry letter that I get from Texas
|
Is covered with a lot of Xes
|
I got-a go back, I got-a go back
|
To the girl I left behind
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Where the western sun is blazing
|
By the Rio Grande
|
I can see the cattle grazing on the prairie land
|
And it fills me with a yearning
|
That I ought to be returning
|
If you were ever there
|
I'm pretty sure you'd understand
|
|
