Texas Bluebonnets Lyrics

- (Swing It)
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.
Well I wanted to ramble so I started to roam
And I didn't think twice about leavin' my home
But when I got to Texas, not far from Burnet
Those Texas Bluebonnets wouldn't let me forget
(Chorus)
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.
Instrumental
I...ran out of money - went to work on a farm
Pickin' their mellons and hoe'in their corn
And all winter long Lord, I hearded their cows
And I tried to forget my little darlin' somehow.
But in Springtime it blossomed in every hue
And it just made my heart feel bluer than blue
Those Texas Bluebonnets, they smiled in the sun
But that just made me think of my only one.

I'm leavin' the Southland, I'm leavin' today
I don't know where I'm goin' but I know that I can't stay
I guess I'll go North to the ice and the snow
Where those Texas Bluebonnets never will grow.
(Chorus)
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.
In the cold frozen northland, I'll live til I die
And I'll finally forget my little darlin's blue eyes...
