[1st verse:] Far away out west in Texas By the Rio Grande There's a ranch of many acres on the prairie land And I want you to be knowing That's exactly where I'm going In just a day or so You'll see a satchel in my hand [Refrain:] I got-a go back, I got-a go back I got-a go back to dear old Texas To the ranch I left behind And the girl who's on my mind I couldn't remain, I'm taking a train The Southern Pacific bound for Texas I'm simply aching to skeedaddle Upon a horse without a saddle And ev'ry letter that I get from Texas Is covered with a lot of Xes I got-a go back, I got-a go back To the girl I left behind [2nd verse:] Where the western sun is blazing By the Rio Grande I can see the cattle grazing on the prairie land And it fills me with a yearning That I ought to be returning If you were ever there I'm pretty sure you'd understand
