Long Tall Texan lyrics

Well, I'm a long, tall Texan

I wear a ten gallon hat

(He rides from Texas wearin' a ten gallon hat)

Yes I'm a long, tall Texan

I wear a ten gallon hat

(He rides from Texas wearin' a ten gallon hat)

Well, people look at me and they say:

"Oh Lord, oh Lord, is that your hat?"

(He rides from Texas wearin' a ten gallon hat)

Well, I'm a long, tall Texan

I ride a big white horse

(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)

Yes, I'm a long, tall Texan

I ride a big white horse

(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)

Well, people look at me and they say:

"Oh Lord, oh Lord, is that your horse?"

(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)

Well, I was walking down the street

With my shiny badge

My spurs jingling there at my feet

(Jingling at his feet)

I seen a man a'coming

Coming with a gun and

I just can't be beat

Yes, I'm a long, tall Texan

I enforce justice for the law

(He rides from Texas to enforce the law)

Well, I'm a long, tall Texan

I enforce justice for the law

(He comes from Texas to enforce the law)

Well, people look at me and they say:

"Oh Lord, oh Lord, is you the law?"

(He rides from Texas to enforce the law)

Well, I'm a long, tall Texan

Yes, I'm a long, tall Texan...
