Carter Family-My Heart's Tonight in Texas


Playing Next: Dave Chapelle - Native Americans
Random Page  /  Random Song


In the distant state of Texas by the silver Rio Grande
Strolled a couple out one evening was two sweethearts hand in hand
Was a rich man's pretty daughter and the lad she loved so dear
Though tomorrow they must part for many a year


My heart's tonight in Texas though I'm far across the sea
The band is playing \"Dixie\" and there's where I long to be
Dad says an earl I'll marry but although here is my hand
My heart's tonight in Texas by the silver Rio Grande


[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]


To Europe she was going to become a lady grand
Where her father hopes an earl, of course, she'll wed
But she went away next morning and her heart was true to Jack
But a letter came one day and this it read


My heart's tonight in Texas though I'm far across the sea
The band is playing \"Dixie\" and there's where I long to be
Dad says an earl I'll marry but although here is my hand
My heart's tonight in Texas by the silver Rio Grande


[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]


At a stately ball in England stood the Texas lad one night
The scenes were splendid and lights were dazzling bright
It was there the earl knelt beside her asking her to be his bride
But her thoughts were by the silver Rio Grande


My heart's tonight in Texas though I'm far across the sea
The band is playing \"Dixie\" and there's where I long to be
Dad says an earl I'll marry but although here is my hand
My heart's tonight in Texas by the silver Rio Grande
