The Rivers of Texas

[Verse 1]
We crossed the broad Pecos, we crossed the Nueces
Swam the Guadalupe, we followed the Brazos
Red River runs rusty, Wichita clear
But down by the Brazos I courted my dear

[Chorus]
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
It's many a river that waters the land

[Verse 2]
The fair Angelina runs glossy and glidin’
The crooked Colorado runs wеavin' and windin'
The slow San Antonio courses the plain
But I nеver will walk by the Brazos again

[Chorus]
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
It’s many a river that waters the land

[Verse 3]
He hugged me, and he kissed me; he called me his candy
The Trinity's muddy, the Brazos quicksandy
He hugged me, and he kissed me; he called me his own
But down by the Brazos he left me alone

[Chorus]
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
It's many a river that waters the land

[Verse 4]
The boys of Little River are handsome and strong
The Sulphur and the Sabine are still mighty long
And down by the Neches there's boys by the score
But I never will walk by the Brazos no more

[Chorus]
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand
It's many a river that waters the land
