The Brazos River Songtext / Lyric

The cool Angelina runs lofty and gliding

The crooked Colorado runs weaving and winding

The Red River runs rusty, the Wichita clear

But Down by the Brazos, I courted my dear



I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

There's many a river that waters the land



She hugged me and she kissed me

And she called me her dandy

The Brazos is muddy,

And sometimes quick sandy






She hugged me and she kissed me

And called me her own

But down by the Brazos

She left me alone



Now the girls of them rivers

They're plump and they're pretty

The Supine and the Sulfur

Have many a beauty



I may wander the rivers

And many a shore,

But down by the Brazos

I'll wander no more



I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand

There's many a river that waters the land

There's many a river that waters the land
