Texas Across the River

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

Texas across the river where my wondering days I'll bid goodbye.

Just the sound of Texas gets me "boom" in the solar plexus
It's enough to make a grown man cry.
Texas across the river. 

Don't need signs to tell you where you're at.
Ain't a trace of shade there. 

Think the only real shade that's made there,
Is the shade that's underneath your hat.

Texas across the river. Texas, I never will roam.
Texas, calling Texas my home!
