GOh, it's hot in TAexas
CAbout as hot as it can gGet
GMesquite trees and cAactus
CAre trying hard not to swGeat
GOver yonder's that Aold paisano
He's Chunting him a bit of shGade
GBut the tadpoles in the cow trAough
CMan, they sure got it mGade
GBuried under that cAool green moss
CDown where the sun don't shGine
GCool in the hottest wAeather
CMan, they're cool all the tGime
[Chorus 1]
GOh, I'd like to jAoin them
CWonder if there is rGoom
GFor a tired and swAeaty old cowboy
CTadpoles make some rGoom

GUp above soars an eAagle
CI wonder if he knGows
