Testo No Good Texas Rounder Kenny Rogers
Excuse me, maôm
Iôd like your daughterôs hand for the evening
Thereôs a new band in town
Iôd like to take her down to see ôem
The fiddler player used to be my neighbor
And he never slept a day in his life
He plays the ââ¬ÅStrawberry Roanââ¬Â
When he gets going he can play all night
And her mama said:
Heôs a no good Texas cowboy, child
Heôll love you up and heôll drive you wild
Then heôll leave you
Heôs a no good Texas rounder, girl
Got a one-track mind
And he ainôt on true love and thatôs for sure
She said Iôve met his kind before
Iôve met your kind before.
Excuse me, maôm
Iôd like your daughterôs hand for the evening
My intentions are good, a man of honor
Please, ignore any rumors that have blackened my name
Iôm just an innocent boy
How could I be to blame?
Weôll be late for the show
And I took her hand and said letôs go
And her mama said:
Heôs a no good ....
Excuse me, maôm
Iôd like your daughterôs hand for the evening
I think you know the band
Iôd like to take her down to see ôem
Iôd been led to understand the fiddler was your man
Thatôs why he never slept a day in his life
He plays the ââ¬ÅStrawberry Roanââ¬Â
Just to get you going then you play all night.
And the daughter said:
He was a no good Texas ......
