No good Texas rounder

Excuse me, ma´m

I´d like your daughter´s hand for the evening

There´s a new band in town

I´d like to take her down to see ´em

The fiddler player used to be my neighbor

And he never slept a day in his life

He plays the "Strawberry Roan"

When he gets going he can play all night

And her mama said:

He´s a no good Texas cowboy, child

He´ll love you up and he´ll drive you wild

Then he´ll leave you

He´s a no good Texas rounder, girl

Got a one-track mind

And he ain´t on true love and that´s for sure

She said I´ve met his kind before

I´ve met your kind before.

Excuse me, ma´m

I´d like your daughter´s hand for the evening

My intentions are good, a man of honor

Please, ignore any rumors that have blackened my name

I´m just an innocent boy

How could I be to blame?

We´ll be late for the show

And I took her hand and said let´s go

And her mama said:

He´s a no good Texas cowboy, child

He´ll love you up and he´ll drive you wild

Then he´ll leave you

He´s a no good Texas rounder, girl

Got a one-track mind

And he ain´t on true love and that´s for sure

She said I´ve met his kind before

I´ve met your kind before.

Excuse me, ma´m

I´d like your daughter´s hand for the evening

I think you know the band

I´d like to take her down to see ´em

I´d been led to understand the fiddler was your man

That´s why he never slept a day in his life

He plays the "Strawberry Roan"

Just to get you going then you play all night.
