Texas Lullaby - David Allan Coe

See those tumbleweeds a blowin'

Lord, It makes me want to cry

It reminds me of my Daddy

And that Texas Lullaby

See those cactus flowers blooming'

Like the twinkle in his eye

Everytime he started singin'

That old Texas Lullaby

Yippie Yi Little doggie, roll on, roll on

Yippie Yi Little doggie, take me home, take me home

It’s so cold on the desert, I’m chilled to the bone

Yippie yi Little doggie, yippie yi

Looky yonder there’s a dust cloud painting pictures in the sky

Daddy told me all about, in that Texas Lullaby

Them old Longhorns are a ballin', Lord I know I must be high

Wish my Daddy could hear me singin' this old Texas Lullaby

Mandolin

Dobro

Daddy Left me this old guitar, though I never quite knew why

He said someday I’d be famous like the Texas Lullaby

But it’s been a month of Sundays since I’ve seen that old eagle fly

And nobody wants to listen to a Texas Lullaby
