Well, I went to the river to water my horse

I couldn't find the river, just rode across

On that drifting shifting Texas sand



Texas sand, drifting Texas sand

Sandy land down by the Rio Grande



Well, sand in my coffee sand in my tea

When I die they're gonna bury me

But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand



Texas sand, drifting Texas sand

Sandy land down by the Rio Grande



Well, I went to the river to water my horse

I couldn't find the river, just rode across

On that drifting shifting Texas sand



Well, sand in my coffee, sand in my tea

When I die they're gonna bury me

But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand
