No Good Texas Rounder Lyrics

Kenny Rogers

Excuse me, maa‚Â'm
Ia‚Â'd like your daughtera‚Â's hand for the evening
Therea‚Â's a new band in town
Ia‚Â'd like to take her down to see a‚Â'em
The fiddler player used to be my neighbor
And he never slept a day in his life
He plays the a¢Â€ÂœStrawberry Roana¢Â€Â�
When he gets going he can play all night
And her mama said:

Hea‚Â's a no good Texas cowboy, child
Hea‚Â'll love you up and hea‚Â'll drive you wild
Then hea‚Â'll leave you
Hea‚Â's a no good Texas rounder, girl
Got a one-track mind
And he aina‚Â't on true love and thata‚Â's for sure
She said Ia‚Â've met his kind before
Ia‚Â've met your kind before.

Excuse me, maa‚Â'm
Ia‚Â'd like your daughtera‚Â's hand for the evening
My intentions are good, a man of honor
Please, ignore any rumors that have blackened my name
Ia‚Â'm just an innocent boy
How could I be to blame?
Wea‚Â'll be late for the show
And I took her hand and said leta‚Â's go
And her mama said:

Hea‚Â's a no good ....

Excuse me, maa‚Â'm
Ia‚Â'd like your daughtera‚Â's hand for the evening
I think you know the band
Ia‚Â'd like to take her down to see a‚Â'em
Ia‚Â'd been led to understand the fiddler was your man
Thata‚Â's why he never slept a day in his life
He plays the a¢Â€ÂœStrawberry Roana¢Â€Â�
Just to get you going then you play all night.

And the daughter said:
He was a no good Texas ......
