If You Ever Go To Houston

[Intro: ]F Bb Eb If you ever go to Houston Bb Better walk right F Keep your hands in your pockets Bb And your gun belt tight Eb If you’re asking for trouble Bb If you’re looking for a fight F If you ever go to Houston Bb Boy, you better walk right Eb If you're ever down there Bb On back near Lamar F You better watch out for Bb The man with the shining star Eb Better know where you're going Bb Or stay where you are F If you’re ever down there Bb On back near Lamar Eb Well I know these streets Bb I’ve been here before F I nearly got killed here Bb During the Mexican War Eb Something always Bb Keeps me coming back for more F I know these streets Bb I’ve been here before Eb, Bb, F Eb If you ever go to Dallas Bb Say hello to Mary Ann F Say I’m still looking along the trigger Bb Hanging on the best I can Eb If you see her sister Lucy Bb Say I’m sorry I’m not there F Tell her other sister Betsy Bb to pray the sinner's prayer I got a restless fever burnin' in my brain Got to keep right forward, can't spoil the game The same way I'll leave here will be the way that I came Got a restless fever burnin' in my brain Mister policeman, can you help me find my gal? Last time I saw her was at the Magnolia Motel If you help me find her, you can be my pal Mister policeman, can you help me find my gal? If you ever go to Austin, Fort Worth or San Antone Find the barrooms I got lost in and send my memories home Put my tears in a bottle, screw the top on tight If you ever go to Houston, boy you'd better walk right
