Brazos At Waco Track

Brazos At Waco (Larry W. Jones 09/16/2001) (song#4015)
Now, there’s the Blackwater Draw in New Mexico
Where the small headwaters of the Brazos are found
The sandy Salt Fork by Lubbock carries the flow
And old Double Mountain sees it come rolling down
I was raised in an old mid-Texas town
A cowboy full of both vigor and vim
The flowing Brazos was where we’d go down
To the high banks of the river to swim
The Brazos River can flood and get mighty wide
By the time the current flows by Waco, my friend
You may find me along the banks of the Rio
I’ll never cross the Brazos at Waco again
(instrumental)
I’ll never cross the Brazos at Waco again
For it was there by the Brazos where I met her
And it was over there that our love would begin
Oh, how her mem’ry still makes my lonely heart stir
It was there in the full Texas moonlight
That her beautiful life drifted away
Now when I see the full Texas moonlight
I know it’s here in west Texas I’ll stay
I reside now on the dry plains of west Texas
I drifted out somehow with the west Texas wind
You may find me along the banks of the Rio
I’ll never cross the Brazos at Waco again
I’ll never cross the Brazos at Waco again
