CARTER’S CHAPEL CLUB MEETINGS • PERSONALS • ENTERTAINMENTS TEXAS — YOU CAN HAVE IT ’Twas once that I was happy My life was filled with cheer; I never had seen Texas Till the Coast Guard brought me here. I’ve heard songs of her beauty. Pretty girls and big strong men. Rolling plains and majestic mountains Just Heaven from end to end. The one thing that is certain, Of this there is no denying. The guy that started that noise Did a heck of a lot of lying. Deep in the heart of Texas There is sand in all we eat. The girls are all bow - legged. And the boys all have flat feet. That’s why they have to send us here To sit in sad dejection Out on this lonely desert For this big State’s protection. No longer are we religious. We drink, we fight, we curse, No worry about going to Hell, It can’t be any worse.
