Songtext von My Heart's Tonight In Texas

In the distant state of Texas By the silver Rio Grande Strolled a couple out one evening Was two sweethearts hand in hand Was a rich man's pretty daughter And the lad she loved so dear Though tomorrow they must part for many a year CHORUS My heart's tonight in Texas Though I'm far across the sea The band is playing Dixie And that's where I long to be Dad says the earl I'll marry But although here is my hand My heart's tonight in Texas By the silver Rio Grande To Europe she was going To become a lady grand For her father hoped an Earl of course she'll wed But she went away next morning And her heart was true to Jack A letter came one day and this it read CHORUS At a stately ball in England Stood the Texas lass one night The scenes were all splendid And the light were dizzyingly brigh The earl knelt beside her Asking her to be his bride But her thoughts were by the silver Rio Grande CHORUS
