Well, I went to the river to water my horse   I couldn't find the river, just rode across   On that drifting shifting Texas sand      Texas sand, drifting Texas sand   Sandy land down by the Rio Grande      Well, sand in my coffee sand in my tea   When I die they're gonna bury me   But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand      Texas sand, drifting Texas sand   Sandy land down by the Rio Grande      Well, I went to the river to water my horse   I couldn't find the river, just rode across   On that drifting shifting Texas sand      Well, sand in my coffee, sand in my tea   When I die they're gonna bury me   But deep in that drifting shifting Texas sand
