Looking for a peaceful spot
(To build the ranch of my dreams) repeat
I thought I might find a restful place Somewhere long the Rio Grande And maybe a girl, who would share my name (And through life hold my hand) repeat
Come, on old paint, don?t lag along
For time is passing by
Old man sun?s hanging, a might low
(Up in that Texas sky)	repeat
I think I see, some chimney smoke Around the yonder bend I hope and pray, by the close of day (We, will reach our journey?s end)	repeat
I stopped before the old ranch shack And I hollered, ?Howdy there?
The door opened wide and from inside (Came a girl so young and fair)	repeat
She invited me in, to share the meal
And to meet her brothers three
Who were not able to run the ranch
(For they were crippled, you see)	repeat
I knew right then, that 1 had found The place called by journeys end And a Texas gal with laughing eyes (Who with me her life would spend) repeat
So if you chance to pass this way
Won?t you come in for a spell
And while we gather around the fire
(My story I will tell)	repeat
April 27, 1958
To the H-T Ranch-Somewhere in Texas in (1904)
