I was born in Texas 'neath a sky of blue That's where my ancestors lived and died Maine or California may look good to you But Texas always keeps me satisfied Haven't got a worry, haven't got a care Haven't got a thing to call my own Tho' I'm out of money I'm a millionaire I still have my home in San Antone When I greet my neighbor with a howdy all I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or a cottage small I'll just take my home in San Antone Traveled o'er the country on my merry way Been in crowds and felt I was alone When I feel like bragging I just up and say I'm a native son of San Antone There's a sweet somebody by the Alamo Someday she's gonna be my very own Then we'll get a highchair in a year or so For our little home in San Antone
