Gene Autry - Gonna Build a Big Fence Around Texas Lyrics

Gonna build a big fence around Texas, 'round Texas, 'round Texas
Gonna build a big fence around Texas, so they can't steal my baby away
She's the loveliest baby in Texas, in Texas, in Texas
And the fellas all know it in Texas, that's the reason I worry each day

She's got that perky sunshine in her smile, kills the cowboys, thrills the cowboys
She's got those lone star movies in her eyes, see what I'm up against? Troubles have just come in

Gonna build a big fence around Texas, around Texas, 'round Texas
Gonna build a big fence around Texas, so they can't steal my baby away

Ya ho, ya ho, fetch that lumber, pile it high, gonna build it to the sky
Ya ho, ya ho, big job to do, I know, she's mighty sweet and so

Gonna build a big fence around Texas, 'round Texas, 'round Texas
Gonna build a big fence around Texas, so they can't steal my baby away

Gonna build a big fence around Texas, 'round Texas, 'round Texas
Gonna build a big fence around Texas, so they can't steal my baby away

Ya ho, ya ho, fetch that lumber, pile it high, gonna build it to the sky
Ya ho, ya ho, big job to do, I know, she's mighty sweet and so

Gonna build a big fence around Texas, around Texas, 'round Texas
Gonna build a big fence around Texas, so they can't steal my baby away
