(James Lewis Jimmy Holiday Cliff Chambers)

Well I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago

Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go

You see she had a razor was ten inches or so

And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door

She said "Baby I'll give you the clothes on my back

You can have everything that I've got in my shack

But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack

'Cause me and my razor will see to that"

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas

I thought about my situation decided not to tarry

For my own self preservation I decided we should marry

When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part

I told him "Skip it we had that understanding right from the start"

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone)

That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave

'em alone)

Well we settled down got me a little old job '65 Fairlane Ford

Grocery store

They had a little girl worked in there must have been about seventeen

She was the cutest thing I had ever seen

It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long

Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong

I said baby we got to stop this thing right here

Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear that's right

Tearful suffocation she looked up in my face

I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say

"You should have told me you was married baby

She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it right smack between the

Eyes

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas

She was guilty I was dead

Now what'd you think that the old judge said ?

"Ah that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas

Case dismissed!"

That's the way the girls are from Texas

That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone)

That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave

'em alone boy)
