Prairie Rose - Then Jerico

Texas

That’s where I

Belong

It seems to me

Texas

Lonesome star

Shine on

The big country

Texas

With open skies

And you

For company

Texas

Oh prairie rose

How happy I should be

Hey hey

You can take it from me

Hey hey

I’ll be coming, you’ll see

Hey hey

Oh what a state to be in

Hey hey

You’re tantalising me

Texas

I will compose

In fancy rhyme

Or just plain prose

Texas

A song of praise to you

Prairie rose

Texas

Though I’m not sure

I can explain

Your strange allure

Texas

Prairie rose —

A crown of thorns

A scented flower

Hey hey

I’d better leave right away

Hey hey

I can hear you calling me

Prairie rose
