Laurie Lewis - Texas Bluebonnets lyrics

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 eyes Well I wanted to ramble so I started to roam And I didn't think twice about leaving my home But when I got to Texas not far from Burnet Those Texas bluebonnets wouldn't let me forget I ran out of money went to work on a farm Picking their melons and hoeing their corn And all winter long Lord I herded their cows And I tried to forget my little darling somehow But then springtime had blossomed And it just made my head feel bluer than blue Those Texas bluebonnets they smiled in the sun But they just made me think of my only one I'm leaving the southland I'm leaving today I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay I guess I'll go north to the ice and the snow Where those Texas bluebonnets never will grow In the cold frozen Iceland I'll live 'til I die Where I'll finally forget my little darlings blue eyes
