Lyrics:

I's born in Louisiana, down on the old bayou;
Raised on shrimp and catfish, Mammy's good gumbo
I got the ramblin' fever, said goodbye to maw and paw
Crossed that old Red River 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 'til I die

I rode up in to Austin, the cradle of the West;
Just ask any cowboy, he'll tell you that its the best
And I met a Texas beauty, I got friendly with her Paw
I looked into her big blue eyes, and this is
What I saw


I started tamin' broncos, made every rodeo
Until I met a tough one, you know his name was Devil Joe
And I grabbed hold of his bridle, just to ride this old outlaw
He threw me from the saddle, and this is what I saw
