Thread Name: Lyr Req: I'd Like to Be in Texas for the Roundup..
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Cowboy song: I'd Like to Be in Texas.
Always paired in my mind with "When the Bloom Is on the Sage."

"When it's roundup time in Texas,
And the bloom is on the sage,
How I long to be in Texas, just a-ridin' on the range.
I can smell the bacon frying, hear it sizzling in the pan,
Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn drinkin' coffee from a can.
etc.
