If you're gonna play in Texas,

Verse 1:
A E
I remember down in Houston
D A
we were puttin' on a show
E D
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled,
E
"Cotton-Eyed Joe"!
A E
He said, "We love what you're doin'.
D A
Boys don't get us wrong,
E A
There's just somethin' missin' in your song.
(repeat Chorus 1)
Verse 2:
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case.
You say y'all all wanna two-step. You say ya wanna doe-si-doe.
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.
(Chorus 2-same as chorus 1, except last line goes:
Ab
...gotta have a fiddle in the and)
Repeat and fade
