F:Nobody else could miss her

Not half as much as me

She cried so when I - pardon me

That's just a shade loud on the snare drum

C:She's the sweetest little rosebud

That Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds

They sparkle like the dew

F:See now you covered up sparkle like the dew

One of the lovliest parts in the whole -

C:Texas is the only girl for me



INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE



F:He covered up the picallos there

Where the Rio Grand is - (snare drum drowns out)

Where the Rio (snare drum)

Where (snare drum)

W - (snare drum)

See my feeling is while I love a good snare drum, I feel that

volume wise it's just a little too much what you're doing there.

See? See, see what I mean? Now you try and hold it there.

I appreciate it.

Where the Rio Grand (I appreciate it)

Where the Rio Grand is flowing

And starry skies (that's better)

She walks along the river

On the quiet (oh that's so much better)

I know that she remembers

When we parted long ago

(You know that there's just a world of difference, oh mercy)

C:She's the sweetest little rosebud

That Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds

They sparkle like the dew

F:See you're slipping back into your old habits again.

Why do you do that. Why do you -

C:Texas is the only girl for me!

F:I love a good snare drum but - hold it hold it hold it.

People people let's go back there the snare drummer

covered up the tra-la-las. We just do it again, smart aleck.

C:Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

F:You see how lovely that turned out? Now that's a darling pa
