Those Texas bluebonnets how sweetly they grow For all the wide prairies they're scattered like snow They make all the meadows as blue as the skies Reminding me of my little darlings blue eyesWell I wanted to ramble so I started to roamAnd I didn't think twice about leaving my homeBut when I got to Texas not far from BurnetThose Texas bluebonnets wouldn't let me forgetI ran out of money went to work on a farmPicking their melons and hoeing their cornAnd all winter long Lord I herded their cowsAnd I tried to forget my little darling somehowBut then springtime had blossomedAnd it just made my head feel bluer than blueThose Texas bluebonnets they smiled in the sunBut they just made me think of my only oneI'm leaving the southland I'm leaving todayI don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stayI guess I'll go north to the ice and the snowWhere those Texas bluebonnets never will growIn the cold frozen Iceland I'll live 'til I dieWhere I'll finally forget my little darlings blue eyes Aus Songtexte Mania
