War - Southern Part Of Texas Lyrics






She's from the southern part of Texas
And she was born in a hurricane
She's from the southern part of Texas
And she was born in a hurricane
You know her mama died for freedom
She got hung by Jessie James

You know her face is so dang pretty
She brings the sunlight to the night
She learned a lesson from tequila
You gotta treat your brother right

They told her freedom was expensive
She couldn't post no bond no bail

You know she begged the judge for mercy
He just throwed away the key

    Yet another gem discovered that I never heard in my youth. Love the complexity, almost like jazz- but so funky! Another commenter sent me to this song, he'd mentioned that the Talking Heads song 'Cross-eyed and Painless' had a lot of these same rhythms and I can definitely hear the influence. Great stuff!
