Chords

[Verse 1]
   C
We crossed the wild Pecos

   F            C
We forded the Nueces

    C
We swum the Guadalupe

       G
And we followed the Brazos

    C
Red River runs rusty

    F       C
The Wichita clear

    C
And down by the Brazos

  G          C
I courted my dear
[Chorus]
C       C  
Li, li, le, le, le

F            C
Lend me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Lend me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

F            C
Lend me your hand

C        C
There's many a river

G           C
That waters the land
[Verse 2]
C
Now the fair Angelina

F            C
Runs glossy and gliding

C
The crooked Colorado

G
Runs weaving and winding

C
The slow San Antonio

F            C
Courses the plains

C
But never will I walk

G             C
By the Brazos again
[Chorus]
C       C  
Li, li, le, le, le

There's many a river

That waters the land
[Verse 3]
C
She kissed me and she hugged me

F               C
And she called me her dandy

C
The Trinity's muddy

G
But the Brazos quicksandy

C
She kissed me and she hugged me

F              C
And she called me her own

C
But down by the Brazos

G            C
She left me alone
[Chorus]
C       C  
Li, li, le, le, le

Lend me your hand

Lend me your hand

C          
Li, li, li, le, le, le

F            C
Lend me your hand

C        C
But down by the Brazos

G           C
She left me alone
[Verse 4]
C
Well the girls of Little River

F                       C
They're plump and they're pretty

C
The Sabine and the Sulphur

G
Have beauties a many

C
The banks of the Neches

F                    C
There's girls by the score

C
But down by the Brazos

G              C
I'll wander no more

There's many a river

G           C
That waters the land
