I'd Like To Be In Texas When They Roundup In The Spring - don edwards

In the lobby of a big hotel

in New York Town one day

Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns

Just to pass the time away

They told of places where they'd been

and different things they'd seen

Some preferred Chicago Town

while others New Orleans

In a corner in an old armchair sat a man

whose hair was gray

He listened to them eagerly to

what they had to say

They asked him

where he'd like to be his clear

old voice did ring

I'd like to be in Texas for

the round up in the spring

I can see the cattle grazing o'er the hills

at early morn

I can see the campfires smoking

at the breaking of the dawn

I can hear the bronco's neighing

I can hear the cowboy sing

I'd like to be

in Texas for the round up in the spring

They sat and listened carefully to each word

he had to say

They knew the old man sitting

there had been a top hand in his day

They asked him for a story of his life out

on the plains

Slowly he removed his hat then quietly began
