Verse
D# G# D#
In the lobby of a big hotel in New York town one day
F7 A#
Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns to pass the time away
D# G# D#
They told of places where they'd been and different things they'd seen
G# D# A#7 D#
Some preferred Chicago town while others New Orleans
[Verse 2]
D# G# D#
In the corner in an old armchair sat a man whose hair was gray
F7 A#
He sat and listened eagerly to what they had to say
D# G# D#
They asked him where he'd like to be, his clear old voice did ring
G# D# A#7 D#
"I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring".
[Chorus]
D# G# D#
I see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
G# D# A#
I see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
D# D#7 G#
I hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
D# A#7 D#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
[Verse 3]
D# G# D#
Now, they sat and listened carefully to each word he had to say
F7 A#
They knew the old man sitting there had been a top hand in his day
D# G# D#
So they asked him for a story of his life out on the plains
D# A#7 D#
Slowly he removed his hat, quietly began.
[Verse 4]
D# G# D#
I've seen 'em stampede o'er the hills till you'd think they'd never stop
F7 A#
I've seen em run for miles and miles until their leaders dropped
D# G# D#
I was a foreman of a cow ranch, oh the callin' of a king
D# A#7 D#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Chorus]
D# G# D#
I can see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
G# D# A#
I can see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
D# D#7 G#
I can hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
D# A#7 D#
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Verse 5]
D# G# D#
Now there's a place in sunny Texas where Molly Demming sleeps
F7 A#
Beneath a grove of mossy live oaks, a constant vigil keeps
D# G# D#
And in my heart a recollection of a long, long bygone day
D# A#7 D#
When we rode the range together like truent kids astray
[Verse 6]
D# G# D#
Now her gentle spirit calls me in the watches of the night
F7 A#
And I hear her laughter freshening the dew of early light
D# G# D#
As I was foreman of a cow ranch oh, the callin' of a king,
D# A#7 D#
I'd like to be in Texas when they roundup in the Spring
[Chorus]
D# G# D#
I'd like to sleep my last long sleep with mother earth for bed
F7 A#
And my saddle for a pillow, and the bright stars overhead
D# G# D#
Then I could hear the last stampedes, the songs the rivers sing
D# A#7 D#
Way back down in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
