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
