[Intro]
B7 A B7 E
E
[Verse 1]
E
Well, I stopped in the heart of deep east Texas
E B7
And an old man told me with a wink
E A
That if I ever took a sip of that east Texas water
B7 E
I'd come back to get another drink
[Chorus 1]
N.C. B7
Well, he warned me 'bout the water
E
But never mentioned his daughter
B7
And while that water is fine
A B7 E
It's not as sweet as that east Texas baby of mine
[Verse 2]
E
Well, the water in east Texas runs cold and deep
E B7
And when you drink it, you acting like a clown
E A
But East Texas women are warm and sweet
B7 E
And they quit running when the sun goes down
[Chorus 2]
N.C. B7
That's why my heart starts to quiver
E
Near the Angelina River
B7
On that river's white sand
A B7 E
That's where a woman makes you feel like a man
[Chorus 3]
B7
And you know what I think?
E
I've got to get another drink
B7
Of that east Texas water
A B7 E
And while I'm there, I'll marry that old man's daughter
[Outro Chorus]
B7
And you know what I think?
E
I've got to get another drink
B7
Yeah, you know what I think?
E
I've got to get another drink...
