Steve Earle – Texas River Song (Guitar Acoustic)

   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

C         F
Li, li, le, le, le

G        C
Lend me your hand

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

G         C
Lend me your hand

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

G         C
Lend me your hand

C           F
Many are the rivers

G           C
That water the land

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

C         F
Li, li, le, le, le

G         C
Row the boat on

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

G         C
Row the boat on

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

G           C
Row the boat on

C           F
My Brazos River sweetheart

G           C
Has left me and gone

C
She kissed me and she hugged me

F               C
And she called me her dandy

C
The Trinity's muddy

G
And 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

C         F
Li, li, le, le, le

G         C
Lend me your hand

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

G         C
Lend me your hand

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

G           C
Lend me your hand

C           F
The Trinity's muddy

G           C
And the Brazos quicksand

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 plenty

C
The banks of the Neches

F                    C
There's girls by the score

C            F
But I'll never walk

G              C
By the Brazos no more

C         F
Li, li, le, le, le

G           C
Lend me your hand

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

G         C
Lend me your hand

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

G           C
Lend me your hand

           F
The Trinity's muddy

G           C
And the Brazos quicksand
