Sing to Me, Willie

We played your music at my daddy’s funeral

And the pastor was amused

He said it’s hard to follow Whiskey River

As he looked at us in the pews

That was so long ago

And it still can make me smile

When I feel so all alone

You make me feel alright

Sing to me, Willie

A Texas lullaby

I’m so lonesome really, I could cry

Your voice reminds me of my home

Take me to Texas with a song

Indian paintbrushes, wild blue bonnets

All along the freeway up to bund

A longhorn steer is grazing by the river

Down in Blanco at sunset

There are some places you can call forever

And some people you can’t forget

Sing to me, Willie

All night long

Your voice reminds me of my home

Sing to me, Willie

All night long

Take me to Texas with a song

Painted ponies, sopapillas

Sometimes the land is flat as a tortilla

But the love that rises up to meet you

Makes you feel that you never left

Play for me, Willie

Play your guitar

Take me to Texas with a song

Mockingbirds and cicadas

Can be heard from Lubbok to Laredo

A sweet breeze is blowing through the front yard

Every evening at sunset

Now there are places you recall forever

And some people that you can’t forget

There are some places you recall forever

And some people you can’t forget

There are some places you recall forever

And some people you can’t forget
