《The Girls From Texas featuring Ry Cooder (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:17] Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago

[00:00:22] Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go

[00:00:26] You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so

[00:00:30] And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door

[00:00:34] She said, Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back

[00:00:38] You can have everything that I've got in my shack

[00:00:43] But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack

[00:00:47] Cause me and my razor will see to that"

[00:00:56] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:01:00] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:01:04] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:01:26] I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry

[00:01:31] For my own self preservation I decided we should marry

[00:01:35] When the preacher started reading bout till death do us part

[00:01:39] I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start"

[00:01:46] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:02:00] That's the way the girls are from Texas Houston to San Antone

[00:02:06] That's the way the girls are from Texas got to love'em

[00:02:23] right or leave em alone

[00:03:03] Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, 65 Fairlane Ford

[00:03:11] Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay

[00:03:14] check down at the grocery store

[00:03:17] They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen

[00:03:23] She was the cutest thing I had ever seen

[00:03:30] It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long

[00:03:35] Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong

[00:03:45] I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here

[00:03:50] Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right

[00:03:58] Tearful suffocation, she looked up in my face

[00:04:03] I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say

[00:04:11] "You should have told me you was married, baby"

[00:04:16] She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it,

[00:04:20] right smack between the eyes

[00:04:23] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:04:27] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:04:30] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:04:31] She was guilty, I was dead

[00:04:34] Now, what'd you think that the old judge said ?

[00:04:37] "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas Case dismissed!"

[00:04:43] That's the way the girls are from Texas

[00:04:48] That's the way the girls are from Texas Houston to San Antone

[00:04:52] That's the way the girls are from Texas got to love'em

[00:05:11] right or leave'em alone, boy
