Old Texas.

I'm going to leave Old Texas now,
They've got no use for the long-horn plow.
They've plowed and fenced my cattle range
And something something something reins ?

To add to Animaterra's point, Michael Cooney used to observe that people tend to think during their early adulthood that the songs they learned in grade school were corny and rotten. Later on they realize that it was grade school that was corny and rotten. (Apologies to the many fine teachers such as AT and Aine who may read this; you know what I mean.)

Old Texas was my own Grade Five favourite.
