[00:04.52]In the distant state of Texas
[00:06.80]By the silver Rio Grande
[00:09.87]Strolled a couple out one evening
[00:12.43]Was two sweethearts hand in hand
[00:15.79]Was a rich man's pretty daughter
[00:18.39]And the lad she loved so dear
[00:20.97]Though tomorrow they must
[00:22.78]Part for many a year
[00:26.32]My heart's tonight in Texas though
[00:28.82]I'm far across the sea
[00:31.95]The band is playing Dixie
[00:34.23]And there's where I long to be
[00:37.40]Dad says the earl I'll marry
[00:39.62]But although here is my hand
[00:42.99]My heart's tonight in Texas
[00:44.89]By the silver Rio Grande
[00:59.55]To Europe she was going to become a lady grand
[01:04.52]Where her father hopes an earl
[01:06.85]Of course she'll wed
[01:09.74]But she went away next morning
[01:12.15]And her heart was true to Jack
[01:14.88]But a letter came one day and this it read
[01:20.10]My heart's tonight in Texas though
[01:22.88]I'm far across the sea
[01:25.65]The band is playing Dixie and
[01:27.85]There's where I long to be
[01:31.00]Dad says the earl I'll marry
[01:33.46]But although here is my hand
[01:36.50]My heart's tonight in Texas
[01:38.57]By the silver Rio Grande
[01:52.87]At a stately ball in England stood
[01:55.39]The Texas lad one night
[01:58.14]The scenes were all splendid and
[02:00.59]The lights were dazzling bright
[02:03.66]The earl knelt beside her asking her to be his bride
[02:08.70]But her thoughts were by the silver Rio Grande
[02:13.86]My heart's tonight in Texas
[02:16.10]Though I'm far across the sea
[02:19.24]The band is playing Dixie and
[02:21.51]There's where I long to be
[02:24.64]Dad says the earl I'll marry
[02:26.94]But although here is my hand
[02:30.18]My heart's tonight in Texas
