Ship My Body Back To Texas - Red Jenkins/Ed Bruce
Composed by：Ed Bruce/Baxter Black
Ship my body back to Texas if
I die out on the trail
I don't worry where they bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone
Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
Lookin' for some greener grass
I left my lone star home
Put my trust in wanderlust
Struck out for parts unknown
I tried California where it's sunny all the time
But someone dug up all the gold in '49
Ship my body back to Texas
If I die out on the trail
I won't worry where they bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in cowtown where
I'll never be alone
Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
I headed for Alaska
Where I thought I'd change my luck
But the nights are long and
Cold and lunch can cost a hundred bucks
They're shuttin' down the motor town
The lights at night aren't pretty
And you can't walk
The streets of New York City
So ship my body back to Texas
If I die out on the trail
I won't worry where they bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone
Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
Ah bigger home
I spent my last ten dollars
Drinkin' rum down in the Keyes
I shipped aboard a freighter
And I've seen more than seven seas
'Cause one square mile of ocean
Looks just like the one next to it
If I could find my way back home
I'd do it
So ship my body back to Texas
If I die out on the trail
I won't worry where they bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone
Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
Now plant me in the parking lot outside
The Astrodome
Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
