Texas Bluebonnets
-Laurie Lewis-

[G] - [D]  (Swing It)


[G]                                       [D]
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
                                                   [G]
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
                                         [D]
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
                                        [G]
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.

                                        [D]
Well I wanted to ramble so I started to roam
                                          [G]
And I didn't think twice about leavin' my home
                                      [D]
But when I got to Texas, not far from Burnet
                                        [G]
Those Texas Bluebonnets wouldn't let me forget

(Chorus)
[G]                                       [D]
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
                                                   [G]
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
                                         [D]
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
                                        [G]
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.

  [Instrumental]

[G]                                      [D]
I...ran out of money - went to work on a farm
                                       [G]
Pickin' their mellons and hoe'in their corn
                                          [D]
And all winter long Lord, I hearded their cows
                                        [G]
And I tried to forget my little darlin' somehow.

                                        [D]
But in Springtime it blossomed in every hue
                                          [G]
And it just made my heart feel bluer than blue

                                            [D]
Those Texas Bluebonnets, they smiled in the sun
                                       [G]
But that just made me think of my only one.

(Chorus)
[G]                                       [D]
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
                                                   [G]
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
                                         [D]
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
                                        [G]
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.

    [Instrumental]


[G]                                    [D]
I'm leavin' the Southland, I'm leavin' today
                                                     [G]
I don't know where I'm goin' but I know that I can't stay
                                         [D]
I guess I'll go North to the ice and the snow
                                         [G]
Where those Texas Bluebonnets never will grow.

(Chorus)
[G]                                       [D]
Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
                                                   [G]
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
                                         [D]
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
                                        [G]
Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes.


                                              [D]
In the cold frozen northland, I'll live til I die
                                                [G]
And I'll finally forget my little darlin's blue eyes...
