Verse 1
Eb
Come 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

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

with a hewed- log wall

I'll tell you what they wear
An old leather coat all patched and bare
An old straw hat more brim than crown

they wore the winter round

The devil is a- workin
