Texas River Song as recorded by Townes Van Zandt (Road Songs)
capo 2, 3/4 time
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
Li, li, le, le
F C
Lend me your hand
C
Li, li, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C
Li, li, li, le, le, le
F C
Lend me your hand
C
For the train it is muddy
G C
And the brazos quick sand
Now the fair Angelina
Ruins 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
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
For the train it is muddy
And the brazos quick sand
Well the girls of Little River
They're plump and they're pretty
The Sabine and the Sulphur
Have many a beauties
The banks of the Neches
There's girls by the score
But I never will walk down
The Brazos no more
Li, li, li, le...
