C
We crossed the wild Pecos
F C
We forded the Nueces
C
We swum the Guadalupe
G
And we followed the Brazos
C
Red River runs rusty
F C
The Wichita clear
C
And down by the Brazos
G C
I courted my dear
[Chorus]
C F
Li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Many are the rivers
G C
That water the land
[Verse 2]
C
Now the fair Angelina
F C
Runs glossy and gliding
C
The crooked Colorado
G
Runs weaving and winding
C
The slow San Antonio
F C
Courses the plains
C
But never will I walk
G C
By the Brazos again
[Chorus]
C F
Li, li, le, le, le
G C
Row the boat on
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Row the boat on
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Row the boat on
C F
My Brazos River sweetheart
G C
Has left me and gone
[Verse 3]
C
She kissed me and she hugged me
F C
And she called me her dandy
C
The Trinity's muddy
G
And the Brazos quicksandy
C
She kissed me and she hugged me
F C
And she called me her own
C
But down by the Brazos
G C
She left me alone
[Chorus]
C F
Li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
The Trinity's muddy
G C
And the Brazos quicksand
[Verse 4]
C
Well the girls of Little River
F C
They're plump and they're pretty
C
The Sabine and the Sulphur
G
Have beauties a plenty
C
The banks of the Neches
F C
There's girls by the score
C F
But I'll never walk
G C
By the Brazos no more
[Chorus]
C F
Li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
C F
Li, li, li, le, le, le
G C
Lend me your hand
F
The Trinity's muddy
G C
And the Brazos quicksand
