Subject: Lyr Add: Going Back To Texas - Partial
Found a link to a MP3 clip among those references to the song Going Back To Texas. It seems to be a Texas Swing type of song. Very nice. Here's the part out of that clip:

Going Back to Texas

I started out from Texas, about a year ago
I started out to make myself a name
I'm going back to Texas, my heart is sad and sore
My weary feet are getting mighty lame.
 
I'm going back to a good old Texas home, home, home,
Down by the sleepy Rio Grande,
Where the lonesome turtledove is breathing
And the moon is shining on the sand.
Going back where the longhorn roam, roam, roam,
And your best friend is your bronco and your gun
And you know I'll never more be leaving Texas
For my rambling days are done.
