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, wander
To a beauty—little cutey little place out yonder.
Let me play 'mong the clover and the new-mown hay
And 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.
