Verse 1
C 
Come  (C major) all you Missouri girls,
and listen to my noise
Don't you go trust those
Texian boys
'Cause if you do, your fortune will be
Johnny- cake and venison
and sassafras tea
Johnny- cake and venison and sassafras
tea

Verse 2

 (C major) 
They'll take you out
to some live- oak hill
Leave you to starve against your will
Leave you alone out there on the plain
'Cause that is the way with the Texians
That is the way with the Texians

Verse 3

They'll take you to a house

with a hewed- log wall

But it ain't got no windows at all

Clapboard roof and a puncheon floor

That's the way all Texas o'er

Verse 4
That"s the way all Texas o"er
C 
 (C major) When they come a courtin"
I'll tell you what they wear
An old leather coat all patched and bare
An old straw hat more brim than crown
A pair of dirty socks
they wore the winter round
C 
A  (C major) pair of dirty socks they wore

Verse 5
the winter round
C 
Oh, brandy  (C major) is brandy any way you mix it
C 
 (C major) But a Texian is a Texian
any way you fix it
When other good folks
have all gone to bed
The devil is a- workin
C 
in the Texian's (C major) head
C 
The devil  (C major) is a- workin
in the Texian's head
C 
 (C major)
