Lyrics
I'm goin' to Texas
music and lyrics by Mike Slagle of The Uncle Bill Roach Band
Well, Once upon a time
There was a man named Davy Crockett
And he grew up a little different from you and me.
Well he's got to be one of my biggest heroes in this world...
even though he came from Tennessee.
Well the people down in Texas started having some trouble...
tryin' to settle down and raise a family.
So ol' Davy told the folks back home...
I'm was goin' down to San Anton
And the rest my friends is Historyyyy...
He said...
You can all go to hell I'm Goin to Texas
And I am goin' if I have to go alone
Well, you people in Tennessee all think I'm crazy as can be...
But, I'm all packed up and bound for San Anton
Oh... Giddy Up
Well, Davy never made it back from the Alamo
No him and Bowie and Travis all ended up dead
Well I'd give a million bucks to be in that court house back in ol' DC
when ol' Davy Crockett stood up and said,
He said...
You can all go to hell I'm Goin to Texas
And I am goin' if I have to go alone
Well, you people in Tennessee all think I'm crazy as can be...
But I'm all packed up and bound for San Anton
He said...
You can all go to hell I'm Goin to Texas
