The Stars at Night are big
an' bright . . .
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
The Prairie Sky is wide an'
high . . .
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
The Sage in Bloom is like
Perfume. . .
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
Reminds me of the one I
love. . .
Deep in the Heart of Texas!

Coyotes wale along the Trail

The Rabbits rush around the

Deep in the Heart of Texas!

The Cowboys cry 'Cai Yippi

Deep in the Heart of Texas!
The Doggies bawl and bawl
and bawl . . .
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
