I was wanderin through a Texas border town
Just another guy with plenty of time
She was ramblin too when her eye caught mine
In a panhandle town along the border line
The night was cold a dreary
And the rain it was a fallin
Sure was fallin fast
I was gettin weary
For I'd left another deary
In a Texas town I'd passed
But I'll never roam from the border town
For I married that gal and now we've settled down
Her pretty eyes were blue her rosy cheeks were red
She smiled at me and it went right to my head
How do you do were the words she said
And in a month or two that gal and I were wed
