[Verse]
I get this going fever every time I hear a tune
That talks about South Texas where the cactus is in bloom
I feel I ought to be there every evening after dark
To hear the fiddlers fiddling around a tune called "Old Joe Clark"
We played that show in Tulsa, then it was Fort Worth-bound
We headed south on 35 to that South Texas town
It's a different world and a lot of fun if you like this country sound
You can find yourself a partner when you boil the cabbage down
Well, if you're ever down in Texas and feeling all alone
There's a lot of kicker places just south of San Antone
Ain't nothing fancy, mind ya, just a place where good folks go
You can hear the boot heels start to click when they hit that "Cotton Eyed Joe"
