Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We crossed the wild Pecos
[G]We forded [D]the Nueces
We swum the Guadalupe
And we fol[A]lowed the Brazos
Red [D]River runs rusty
The [G]Wichita [D]clear
But down by the Brazos
I [A]courted my [D]dear

[Verse 2]
[D]Singing li, li, li, le, [G]le, le
Lend me your [D]hand
Li, li, li, le, [A]le, le
Lend me your [D]hand
Li, li, li, [G]le, le, le
Lend me your [D]hand
There's many a river
That [A]waters the land

[Verse 3]
[D]Now the fair Angelina
Runs [G]glossy and glid[D]ing
The crooked Colorado
Runs [A]weaving and winding
[D]The slow San Antonio
[G]Courses and [D]plains
But I never will walk
By the [A]Brazos again

[Interlude 1]

[A][D][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
She [D]kissed me and she hugged me
And [G]she called me her [D]dandy
The Trinity's muddy
But [A]the Brazos quick sandy
She [D]kissed me and she hugged me
And [G]she called me her [D]own
But down by the Brazos
She [A]left me alone

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][A][D]
[G][D]
[A][D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Now the [D]girls of Little River
They're [G]plump and they're
[D]pretty
The Sabine and the Sulphur
Hold [A]beauties a'many
The [D]banks of the Neches
There are [G]girls by [D]the score
But down by the Brazos
[A]I'll wander no more

[Outro 1]
