DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Words by June Hershey, music by Don Swander, ©1941.
As sung by Alvino Rey

The stars at night are big and bright
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The prairie sky is wide and 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)

The coyotes wail along the trail
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The rabbits rush around the brush
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi"
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The dogies bawl and bawl and bawl
(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)

My hat is tall, I say ya'll..........
My belt is tight, I drink at night.....

I hunt praire dogs, hares & hogs.....
I eats them raw, & yells hee haw.....

I likes to kid the bull, & chew steel wool....
I snorts baccky juice, & I pulls teeth loose.....

How my boots do shine, but they ain't mine......
My hatbands cute, I plays nose flute.....

When I go south, I tilt my mouth....
The drole just drips, when I makes this trip......

I gonna go back home, where the wild sheep roam..
Up north here, where we milk our deer...

Sorry, couldn't control myself. I'm not taking the piss out of you Texans, I'm taking the piss out of us weekend warriors from the ice packs. Barry

in 1941 don swander wrote a song called deep in the heart of texas the song was first recorded by perry como this song has been sung so many times. there in the mudcat the songs roots go back to 1903 but for some folks say that is not clear. in 1989 i started going to art class at the royal blind school in edinburgh a teacher for the lesson sung this song with new words with a guitar played by him. his name was aiden brennar the words he sung were written by him to the tune of the 1941 song. it was about teachers and staff members going to texas. the folks all laughed and sung along. from joe

This was a big hit in wartime Britain but it was added to the
list of banned songs on BBC radio.
The reason- while listening to programmes like 'Music while you work' munitions workers were interrupting their important work by clapping three times & disrupting the production lines.
