No Good Texas Rounder — Kenny Rogers

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:

And the daughter said: He was a no good Texas ......
