Chord/Tab song: Northeast Texas Women

By Jerry Jeff Walker

Capo 2

Say if you're [C]South of Okla[F]homa, [G]east of New Mexi[C]co,
[C]West of Louis[F]iana, where [G]Papa Charles always [C]go
We [C]gotta a little place called [F]Texas where the [G]women grow on [C]trees
There [C]right there for the [F]pickin' good buddy just as [G]easy as a man could [C]please

Chorus:
[F]Run [Dm7]take a [Dm]hold
You're gonna get [F]young '[Dm7]fore ya get [Dm]old
Those Texas [F]ladies are [Dm7]Texas [Dm]gold
Kisses that are sweeter than [G]cactus take no practice to [C]love yeah

Now there east of Amarillo, a little south of old Dime Box
You can find a Cinderella or a genuine Goldilocks
And if ya don't like no love attachments, if your taste in women gets strange
You could probably find some things to live on, down in old La Grange

Chorus 2:
You better run tell the world
You gotta have a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
Her aluminum dimples cause she's so simple to love

Now she's probably in Dallas, maybe down in old Cowtown
I've heard tell Texas women beat the others lyin' down
I just thought I might tell you in case you were unaware
'Bout those northeast Texas women with their cotton candy hair

Chorus 3:
You run dig a hole
You gonna get young before you get old
Now Texas women are Texas gold
Ahh there sweeter than cactus
Easy to love, yeah, easy to love
Easy to love, mmmmm

Chorus 4:
You run tell the world,
How you'll get Lone star girls
With their cast iron curls,
She's sweeter than cactus
And easy to love....
