Texas |
| Gonna get what’s mine and wild horses couldn’t keep it from me |
| Papa says I’m a golden child and the whole world’s gonna fall at my feet |
| It’s all coming to me |
| Going down picking when it’s harvest time |
| Gonna get my share, gonna get what’s mine for me |
| Sun is a-blazing down but I don’t mind; |
| I’m picking, I’m digging, it’s harvest time for me |
| When I get my little eye on it |
| When I get my little mind on it, you best believe |
| Ole sweet tooth aching in my head |
| Gonna fill my belly to the brim, oh yes indeed! |
| Hive is a-buzzing in a hollow tree |
| And I don’t care if I gotta kill a little honeybee |
| When I get my little eye on it |
| When I get my little mind on it, you best believe |
| Oh my, it’s all coming to me |
| Gonna get what’s mine and wild horses couldn’t keep it from me |
| Papa says I’m a golden child and the whole world is gonna fall at my feet |
| It’s all coming to me |
| Pumpin' and a-suckin' till the well is dry |
| Nobody’s booming in these busted times like me |
| Down in Texas where the cattle don’t roam |
| Oil is a-dripping and the savings and loans, they bleed |
| When I get my little eye on it |
| When I get my little mind on it, you best believe |
| Oh my, it’s all coming to me |
| Papa came along and he shook the tree; |
| Down came a bushel and a peck for me |
| Papa shooed away all the honeybees |
| Papa dug a well and it flowed for me |
| Papa caught the mother-lode fish for me |
| Papa set a fire and it burned for me |
| Papa put a skillet in the flame to fry; |
| Papa filled this little silver spoon of mine |
| Papa said the Lord took a shine to me |
| Papa said I gotta set the whole world free |
| Papa said how it’s gonna be |
