Well Loretta she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty two
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like a water falls
Loves me like i want her to
Well Loretta won't you say to me
Darlin put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue and wailin' song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings Loretta's fine
Long and lazy blonde and free
And I can have her anytime
Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
Least not 'til she's all alone
Loretta I won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back babe to make you smile
Well Loretta she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty two
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like a water falls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to

Texas River Song
03:32

|
We crossed the wild Pecos
We forded the Nueces
We swum the Guadalupe
And we followed the Brazos
Red River runs rusty
The Wichita clear
And down by the Brazos
I courted my dear
Singing li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand
The fair Angelina
Runs glossy and gliding
The crooked Colorado
Runs weaving and winding
The slow San Antonio
Courses the plains
But I never will walk
By the Brazos again
Singing li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand
Well the girls of Little River
They're plump and they're pretty
Sabine and the Sulphur
Have many a beauties
The banks of the Neches
There's girls by the score
But down by the Brazos
I'll wander no more
Singing li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand
Singing li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le, le, le
Lend me your hand
Li, li, li, le
Lend me your hand
There's plenty of rivers to water the land
