Cow Town
Donald Swann, he was a millionaire From a Texas oil family He was a man of integrity But he still worked hard and believed in God He went to France on business She saw love in the eyes of the American guy Met a woman there named Simone And she didn't like to be alone Now it's a cow town It's a cow town For Simone Swann Living on the Buffalo Bayou She packed up all her perfume For the gusty pioneer There's a chill about every ten years." So they flew hand in hand to Houston On a carefree note he said "Forget your coat Home of Exxon, Gulf, and Shell He said we have an income bigger than France We all think that's swell And she, for one, had always fancied He loved her French accent And her knowledge of the arts So they got married up in Dripping Springs Havin' a millionaire sweetheart Flew her mamma in from Cannes She said, "What kind of romance could make My baby leave France Now she thinks about France and the night life there Donald must be some kind of Don Juan." And its cafes and bistros Donald, a hard working, simple man, Likes to see the livestock shows He's off checkin' out cows and pigs And when he's not off on business And she gets weary on a twelve mile prairie Starin' at the drilling rigs Now it's a cow town For Simone Swann It's a cow town Living on the Buffalo Bayou |
