[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I m gonna leave old Texas now
They got no use for the longhorn cow
They ve ploughed and fenced my cattle range
The people there are all so strange
[Verse 2]
I ll say goodbye to the Alamo
And turn my head toward Mexico
Make my home on the wide, wide range
The people there are not so strange
[Verse 3]
And when my ride on Earth is done
I ll take my chance on the promised land
I ll tell Saint Peter that I know
A cowman s soul ain t white as snow
But in that far-off cattle land
He sometimes acted like a man
