Texas Bluebonnets

G D - (Swing It) GD Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow G O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow D They make all the meadows as blue as the skies G Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes. D Well I wanted to ramble so I started to roam G And I didn't think twice about leavin' my home D But when I got to Texas, not far from Burnet G Those Texas Bluebonnets wouldn't let me forget (Chorus) GD Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow G O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow D They make all the meadows as blue as the skies G Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes. Instrumental GD I...ran out of money - went to work on a farm G Pickin' their mellons and hoe'in their corn D And all winter long Lord, I hearded their cows G And I tried to forget my little darlin' somehow. D But in Springtime it blossomed in every hue G And it just made my heart feel bluer than blue D Those Texas Bluebonnets, they smiled in the sun G But that just made me think of my only one. >From Laurie Lewis "Love Chooses You" CD 1989 Flying Fish Records, Inc.

Instrumental GD I'm leavin' the Southland, I'm leavin' today G I don't know where I'm goin' but I know that I can't stay D I guess I'll go North to the ice and the snow G Where those Texas Bluebonnets never will grow. (Chorus) GD Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow G O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow D They make all the meadows as blue as the skies G Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes. D In the cold frozen northland, I'll live til I die G And I'll finally forget my little darlin's blue eyes... Instrumental out
