Old Texas(The Cowman's Lament)

I'm going to leave old Texas now; They have no use for the Longhorn cow. They plowed and fenced my cattle range, And the people here all seem so strange. I'll take my horse and I'll take my rope, And I'll hit the trail upon a lope. I'll bid adiós to the Alamo, And set my face toward Mexico.
