GUEST,Bob H Lyr Req: Northeast Texas Women (Willis Alan Ramsey (12) Lyr Req: Trinity (Texas?) Women 20 Sep 04


Last weekend at the Winfield festival I heard/learned a song and tried to commit it to memory. Of course, the fact that is was 3 AM and after a bottle of Mouton Cadet meant that come sunrise it was gone. It began,
"South of Oklahoma,
East of New Mexico
West of Louisiana where the cajuns go
Is a little place called Texas
where women grow on trees


The chorus ended

Gotta get young before you get old
Texas women are Texas Gold

There were verses extolling their "cast iron curls and dimples of aluminum" and references to northeast Texas and the Trinity River.
The source for the song said it was on a one-shot wonder album by a Wade Allen somebody (hey, it was NOISY at the Carp Camp with about forty musicians playing!). The melody and tempo was similar to the Band's "Up on Cripple Creek".

Anyone know this one?
