Prairie Rose

Texas, that's where I belong It seems to me Texas, lonesome star shine on The big country Texas, with open skies And you for company Texas, oh prairie rose How happy I should be Hey, hey, you can take it from me Hey, hey, I'll be coming, you'll see Hey, hey, oh what a state to be in Hey, hey, you're tantalizing me Texas, I will compose In fancy rhyme or just plain prose Texas, a song of praise to you Prairie rose, Texas Though I'm not sure I can explain, your strange allure Texas, prairie rose A crown of thorns, a scented flower Hey, hey, I'd better leave right away Hey, hey, I can hear you calling me Prairie rose
