TraditionalThe Brazos River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The cool Angelina runs glossy and glidin'
The crooked Colorado runs weavin' and windin'
Red River runs rusty, the Wichita clear
But down by the Brazos, I courted my dear
[Chorus]
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
There's many a river that waters the land
[Verse 2]
She hugged me, and she kissed me, and she called me her dandy
The Brazos is muddy and sometimes quicksandy
She hugged me, and she kissed me, and she called me her own
But down by the Brazos she left me alone
[Chorus]
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
There's many a river that waters the land
[Verse 3]
Now, the girls of Thin River, they're plump and they're pretty
The Supine and the Sulfur have many a beauty
I may wander the rivers and many a shore
But down by the Brazos I'll wander no more
[Chorus]
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
There's many a river that waters the land
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
Aye-la-la-lee-lee, give me your hand
There's many a river that waters the land
