Deep in the Heart of Texas Cowboy Songs
Cowboy songs are a genre of folk music that originated in the western United States and Canada. They often deal with themes of cowboys, ranch life, and the American Old West. Cowboy songs may be ballads, hymns, or dance tunes, and they are typically characterized by their use of western themes and imagery, as well as their use of guitar, fiddle, and other instruments commonly associated with country and western music.
Cowboy songs have been an important part of American folk music for centuries and have had a significant influence on the development of country and western music. Some of the most famous cowboy songs include "Home on the Range," "Red River Valley," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," and "The Streets of Laredo."
While it’s not the official state song of Texas, Deep in the Heart of Texas is probably as representative as and much more widely known than that grand anthem. And it is filled with the fun and joyful spirit that is such an integral part of the great lone star state.
The stars at night are big and bright (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The sage in bloom is like perfume
Deep in the heart of Texas
Reminds me of the one I love
Deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry, “Ki-yippee-yi!”
Deep in the heart of Texas
The dogies bawl, and bawl ad bawl
Deep in the heart of Texas
