Let a fiddle start playing San Antonio Rose
That came from Bob Wills any good cowboy knows
Let a song come a drifting'
Down from Austin way
It's Willie singing 'Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain'
Waltzes and 4/4 and Cotton-Eyed Joe
A pretty girl, a dance floor and some good Lone Star beer
Waltzes and 4/4 and Cotton-Eyed Joe
That's what the outlaws in Texas want to hear

Waylon come a wailing 'Bob Wills Is Still The King'
They'll all hit the dance floor when he starts to sing
'A Good Hearted Woman' or 'A Pair of Fiddle Bows'
You've gotta be from Texas to know how it goes

Waltzes and 4/4 and Cotton-Eyed Joe
A pretty girl, a dance floor and some good Texas beer
Waltzes and 4/4 and Cotton-Eyed Joe
That's what the outlaws in Texas want to hear
