Clifton Hicks - Southern Texas (Texas Rangers)
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "Southern Texas" (an adaptation of the earlier ballad, "Texas Rangers") from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. My instrument is an 1888 Luscomb banjo tuned ~ f♯DGAD.
Way down in southern Texas where I rejoined to stay
I left my kind old parents when their hair was turning grey,
I joined them dying cowboys I knew I had to ride
I climbed up in the saddle and bid this world goodbye.
I saw them Indians coming I heard them give their yell
My feelings at that moment no human's tongue can tell,
My horse she got excited she could not stand still
The firelight from our pistols looked like sunshine on the hill.
My friends shot down beside me tears falling from my face
O how I love you brother but I can't take your place,
And then I thought of Mother who said in tears to me
To you they are all strangers at home you'd better be.
I thought her old and childish the best she did not know
My mind was set on ranging so westward I did go,
Way down in southern Texas where I rejoined to stay
I left my kind old parents when their hair was turning grey.
