If You Ever Go To Houston

If you ever go to Houston better walk right

Keep your hands in your pockets and your gun-belts tied

If you're asking for drama, if you're looking for a fight

If you ever go to Houston, boy you better walk right

If you're ever down there on Bagby and Lamar

You better watch out for the man with the shining star

Better know where you're going or stay where you are

If you're ever down there on Bagby and Lamar

Well I know these streets I've been here before

I nearly got killed here during the Mexican War

Something always keeps me coming back for more

I know these streets I've been here before

If you ever go to Dallas, say hello to Mary-Ann

Say I'm still looking along the trigger, hanging on the best I can

If you see her sister Lucy, say I'm sorry I'm not there

Tell her other sister Nancy to pray the sinner's prayer

I gotta rest this fever bury it in my brain

Better keep right forward, can't spoil the game

The same way I'll leave here will be the way that I came

Gotta rest this fever bury it in my brain

Mr. policeman, can you help me find my gal

Last time I saw her was at the Magnolia Motel

If you help me find her, you can be my pal

Mr. policeman, can you help me find my gal

If you ever go to Austin, Fort Worth or San Anton'

Find the barrooms I got lost in and send my memories home

Put my tears in a bottle screw the top on tight

If you ever go to Houston, buddy you'd better walk right
