Текст песни: The Rivers of Texas + перевод

We crossed the broad Pecos

And we crossed the Nueces

We swum the Guadalupe

And we followed the Brazos

Red River runs rusty

The Wichita clear

And down by the Brazos

I courted my dear

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

There’s many a river

That waters the land

The fair Angelina

Runs glossy and gliding

The crooked Colorado

Runs weaving and winding

The old San Antonio

It courses the plains

But I never will walk by the Brazos again

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

There’s many a river

That waters the land

I hugged her and I kissed her

And I called her my candy

The Trinity’s muddy

And the Brazos quicksandy

I hugged her and I kissed her

And I called her my own

And down by the Brazos she left me alone

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

There’s many a river

That waters the land

With the girls of Little River

You can’t do no wrong

The sulpher and the sabine

Are still mighty long

And down by the of the Neches

There’s girls by the score

But I will never will walk by the Brazos no more

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

Li, li, li, le, le, le

Give me your hand

There’s many a river

That waters the land
