_ _ Well, I met a girl from Texas about a year ago.
I hadn't known her for too long when [G] I had to let her go.
Cause you see, [C] she had a razor, was [F] ten inches or so.
And [G] every night you'd hear her knocking at [C] my door.
She [F] said, baby, I give you the clothes off my back.
You can have everything [C] that I got in my shack.
If you ever try to leave, I'll [F] take you out in a sec.
[G] I've got me and my [F] razor, [C] you'll see.
_ Now that's the way the girls [G] are from Texas.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [G] I [C] thought about my situation.
Decided not to tear it for my own self-preservation.
[G] I said, oh, come on, let's go get married.
[C] The streets were starting to read.
[F] I fell left to a spot.
[G] I told her, skip it.
She had that [C] understanding right from the start.
She said, [F] baby, I [C] give you the [F] clothes off my back.
You can have everything [C] that I got in my shack.
If you ever try to leave, I'll [F] take you out in a sec.

[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I've got your money!
_ I've got your money!
Well, _ _ _ we settled down.
I got me a little old jog.
65, fairly in full. _
[D] And every Friday [C] night, I'd go [G] down and I'd cash my paycheck down at the grocery store.
_ _ [C] [A] Boy, they had a little girl [G] working in there.
She must have been about 17. _ _
Lord, she was the [B] cutest thing that [C] I had ever seen.
Up to that time.
_ Yeah, it's the same old story.
It wasn't too very long. _ _
_ [E] Before we had fallen deeply [Am] in [F] love, _ _ I knew it was wrong.
So, [C] one [Dm] night I said,
Baby, [C] we're gonna have to stop this thing [G] right here.
_ Or my woman's gonna cut my throat [C] from ear to ear.
You understand [F] me?
_ A tearful supplication, _ she looked up in my face.
_ _ I could feel her heart [C] was breaking.
As he said words, [D] she did [C] say,
_ You should have told [G] me you was married, baby.
_ _ As she pulled out her .45,
_ [F] let me [C] have it right smack between the eyes.
That's the way the girls [G] are from Texas.
_ I said, that's the way the girls [C] are from Texas.
_ I mean, she was guilty.
I was [F] dead.
I don't know what that old [G] judge said.
Así son las [C] mujeres aquí en Texas.
