I Was Born in Louisiana Down on the Ol Bayou Raised on Shrimps and Catfish Mame's Good Gumbo I Got the Ramblin' Fever Said Goodbye to Ma and Pa Crossed That Ol Red River and This is What I Saw
I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas All the Stars Up in the Sky I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas Gonna Live Here Till I Die
I Rode Up in to Austin the Craddle of the West Just Ask Any Cowboy He'll Tell You It's the Best I Met a Texas Beauty I Got Friendly With Her Pa I Looked in to Her Big Blue Eyes This is What I Saw
I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas All the Stars Up in the Sky I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas Gonna Live Here Till I Die
I Started Tamin' Bronko's I Made Every Rodeo Until I Met a Tuff One You Know His Name Was Devil Joe I Grabb'd Hold of His Bridle Just to Ride This Ol' Outlaw He Threw Me From the Saddle and This is What I Saw
I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas All the Stars Up in the Sky I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas Gonna Live Here Till I Die
