      Music-Dimitri Tiomkin
      Lyrics-Paul Francis Webster, 1956
Just like a sleeping giant sprawling in the sun,
In one great hand the Rio Grande
In the other, Galveston.
Where oil wells laugh at angels
And buzzards wheel above,
This, then, is Texas--
Lone Star State of Texas.
This, then, is Texas--Land I love.

My ma was born in Dallas, Father in Ft. Worth.
You can bet your boots I got my roots
In the good old Texas earth.
Just see the silver dollars
Falling from above.
This, then, is Texas--Lone Star State of Texas
This, then, is Texas--Land I love.

God made these lonely acres where I ride alone,
But the devil cursed this land with thirst
And he bleached it like a bone.
One day a wild tronato
Next a gentle dove.
This, then, is Texas--Lone Star State of Texas
This, then, is Texas--Land I love
