Out On The Texas Plains
Written and recorded by Red Steagall
 
C                                F              C
We headed west as sparsest guest after the last domain
   F             C        D7               G7
To find a way to Santa Fe across the Texas plains
  C                                    F           C
I joined the crowd and I was proud and why I can't explain
    F            C
Was mid July the stakes were high
G7               C
Out on the Texas Plains
 
    F                   G7
The plains were full of buffalo
   F                    C
As far as the eye could see
 
Their bellowing made for a fitful sleep
    D7               G7
For all the boys and me
 
     F
Like when they run their rumbling gate
    A#7              G7
And shook the ground beneath 
    F           C
The plains were full of buffalo
   G7                   C
As far as the eye could see
 
 
The Indian on the Texas plains
   F                  C
He knew ever hill and dale
   F            C
He led the race but in the face
   D7               G7
We seldom found his trail
 
    C
The sun burned down on the broken ground
    F                C
The water holes were few
    F                C
Now many died on the dreadful ride
G7                C
Only the buzzards knew
 
Repeat #2,3
 
 
The lightning flashes and the thunder crashed 
     F                C
Gave way to a cooling rain
    F                C
And now the grass is green at last
    D7           G7
Out on the Texas Plains
 
C
Longhorns graze and the dusty haze
    F               C
But none of the old remain
    F                  C
The bison died for the price of a hide
G7               C
Out on the Texas plain
 
Repeat #2,3,3
