Verse
F# B F#
In the lobby of a big hotel in New York town one day
G#7 C#
Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns to pass the time away
F# B F#
They told of places where they'd been and different things they'd seen
B F# C#7 F#
Some preferred Chicago town while others New Orleans
[Verse 2]
F# B F#
In the corner in an old armchair sat a man whose hair was gray
G#7 C#
He sat and listened eagerly to what they had to say
F# B F#
They asked him where he'd like to be, his clear old voice did ring
B F# C#7 F#
"I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring".
[Chorus]
F# B F#
I see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
B F# C#
I see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
F# F#7 B
I hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
F# C#7 F#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
[Verse 3]
F# B F#
Now, they sat and listened carefully to each word he had to say
G#7 C#
They knew the old man sitting there had been a top hand in his day
F# B F#
So they asked him for a story of his life out on the plains
F# C#7 F#
Slowly he removed his hat, quietly began.
[Verse 4]
F# B F#
I've seen 'em stampede o'er the hills till you'd think they'd never stop
G#7 C#
I've seen em run for miles and miles until their leaders dropped
F# B F#
I was a foreman of a cow ranch, oh the callin' of a king
F# C#7 F#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Chorus]
F# B F#
I can see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
B F# C#
I can see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
F# F#7 B
I can hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
F# C#7 F#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Verse 5]
F# B F#
Now there's a place in sunny Texas where Molly Demming sleeps
G#7 C#
Beneath a grove of mossy live oaks, a constant vigil keeps
F# B F#
And in my heart a recollection of a long, long bygone day
F# C#7 F#
When we rode the range together like truent kids astray
[Verse 6]
F# B F#
Now her gentle spirit calls me in the watches of the night
G#7 C#
And I hear her laughter freshening the dew of early light
F# B F#
As I was foreman of a cow ranch oh, the callin' of a king,
F# C#7 F#
I'd like to be in Texas when they roundup in the Spring
[Chorus]
F# B F#
I'd like to sleep my last long sleep with mother earth for bed
G#7 C#
And my saddle for a pillow, and the bright stars overhead
F# B F#
Then I could hear the last stampedes, the songs the rivers sing
F# C#7 F#
Way back down in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
