Oh, Mister fiddling man, please strike up the band And play that Texas playboy rag There ain't no rhythm aroun' that rides right on down Like that Texas Playboy Rag So carry me back to Texas Where waves the Lone Star flag Carry me back to Texas With that Texas playboy rag I see that old Alamo and blue bonnets grow When I hear that tune you see? And memories start to roam of my Texas home When I hear that melody So carry me back to Texas Where waves the Lone Star flag Carry me back to Texas With that Texas playboy rag Oh, mister fiddling man, now you understand Why I love this melody? To me it's more than a song It takes me along back to where I long to be So carry me back to Texas Where waves the Lone Star flag Carry me back to Texas With that Texas playboy rag
