Standalone song, first performed at a concert in Dunkirk in 1917.

31—DOWN TEXAS WAY

Down Texas way, there's a little cabin Texas way,Where they'll be so glad, yes, so glad to see me,Night and day I can see their happy faces, gay—And hear a sweet voice say 'come, wanderTo a beauty—little cutey little place out yonder.Let me play 'mong the clover and the new-mown hayAnd once again round dear old mammy's knee I'd love to kneel and pray—God bless Mother, God bless Dad,Make them happy—make them glad,I'm in heaven down old Texas way.
