Long Tall Texan

—Murry Kellum, 1963

   Giddyup… giddyup…

Well I'm a long tall Texan, I ride a big white horse
   He rides from Texas on a big white horse
Yes I'm a long tall Texan, I ride a big white horse
   He rides from Texas on a big white horse
Well people look at me and say,
oh-rah, oh-rah, is that your horse?
   He rides from Texas on a big white horse

Well I'm a long tall Texan, I wear a ten-gallon hat
   He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat
Yes I'm a long tall Texan, I wear a ten-gallon hat
   He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat
Well people look at me and say,
oh-rah, oh-rah, is that your hat?
   He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat

Bridge:
Well I was walking down the street, With my shiny badge
My spurs jingling there at my feet
I seen a man a'coming, Coming with a gun and
I just can't be beat

Yes I'm a long tall Texan, I enforce justice for the law
   He rides from Texas to enforce the law
Well I'm a long tall Texan, I enforce justice for the law
   He rides from Texas to enforce the law
Well people look at me and say,
oh-rah, oh-rah, is you the law?
   He rides from Texas to enforce the law
