Verse
C F C
In the lobby of a big hotel in New York town one day
D7 G
Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns to pass the time away
C F C
They told of places where they'd been and different things they'd seen
F C G7 C
Some preferred Chicago town while others New Orleans
[Verse 2]
C F C
In the corner in an old armchair sat a man whose hair was gray
D7 G
He sat and listened eagerly to what they had to say
C F C
They asked him where he'd like to be, his clear old voice did ring
F C G7 C
"I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring".
[Chorus]
C F C
I see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
F C G
I see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
C C7 F
I hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
C G7 C
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
[Verse 3]
C F C
Now, they sat and listened carefully to each word he had to say
D7 G
They knew the old man sitting there had been a top hand in his day
C F C
So they asked him for a story of his life out on the plains
C G7 C
Slowly he removed his hat, quietly began.
[Verse 4]
C F C
I've seen 'em stampede o'er the hills till you'd think they'd never stop
D7 G
I've seen em run for miles and miles until their leaders dropped
C F C
I was a foreman of a cow ranch, oh the callin' of a king
C G7 C
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Chorus]
C F C
I can see the cattle grazing o'er the hills at early morn
F C G
I can see the campfires smokin at the breaking of the dawn
C C7 F
I can hear the bronco's neighing I can hear the cowboy sing
C G7 C
I'd like to be in Texas when they round-up in the Spring.
[Verse 5]
C F C
Now there's a place in sunny Texas where Molly Demming sleeps
D7 G
Beneath a grove of mossy live oaks, a constant vigil keeps
C F C
And in my heart a recollection of a long, long bygone day
C G7 C
When we rode the range together like truent kids astray
[Verse 6]
C F C
Now her gentle spirit calls me in the watches of the night
D7 G
And I hear her laughter freshening the dew of early light
C F C
As I was foreman of a cow ranch oh, the callin' of a king,
C G7 C
I'd like to be in Texas when they roundup in the Spring
[Chorus]
C F C
I'd like to sleep my last long sleep with mother earth for bed
D7 G
And my saddle for a pillow, and the bright stars overhead
C F C
Then I could hear the last stampedes, the songs the rivers sing
C G7 C
Way back down in Texas when they round-up in the spring.
