No Good Texas Rounder

Excuse me, maґm
Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening
Thereґs a new band in town
Iґd like to take her down to see ґem
The fiddler player used to be my neighbor
And he never slept a day in his life
He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ
When he gets going he can play all night
And her mama said:
Heґs a no good Texas cowboy, child
Heґll love you up and heґll drive you wild
Then heґll leave you
Heґs a no good Texas rounder, girl
Got a one-track mind
And he ainґt on true love and thatґs for sure
She said Iґve met his kind before
Iґve met your kind before.
Excuse me, maґm
Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening
My intentions are good, a man of honor
Please, ignore any rumors that have blackened my name
Iґm just an innocent boy
How could I be to blame?
Weґll be late for the show
And I took her hand and said letґs go And her mama said:
Heґs a no good …
Excuse me, maґm
Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening
I think you know the band
Iґd like to take her down to see ґem
Iґd been led to understand the fiddler was your man
Thatґs why he never slept a day in his life
He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ
Just to get you going then you play all night.
And the daughter said:
He was a no good Texas …
