Texas River Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Singing li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand [Verse 2] Now 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 [Chorus] Singing li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand [Verse 3] She hugged me and she kissed me And she called me her dandy The Trinity's muddy And the Brazos quick sandy She hugged me and kissed me And she called me her own But down by the Brazos She left me alone [Chorus] Singing li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand [Verse 4] Now the girls of Little River They're plump and they're pretty The Sabine and the Sulphur Hold beauties a'many O the banks of the Neches There are girls by the score But I never will walk Down the Brazos no more [Chorus] Singing li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand The Trinity's muddy and the Brazos quicksand
