I`m In Love And He`s In Dallas Lyrics

I`m In Love And He`s In Dallas lyrics

Mama said,

"Tell me what's wrong child,

You didn't eat enough

To keep a bird alive,

And you haven't said

Two words to me all evening."



She said,

"Girl, you've got your long face on,

Your eyes are red,

And your smile is gone."

So I broke down,

And I told my mama the reason.



I'm in love and he's in Dallas.

I'm as blue as a girl can be.

Is he down there thinkin' about my love,

Or driftin' away from me?

I'm in love and he's in Dallas

But that's not the way it's s'pposed to be.

Can a promise reach from Texas

All the way to Tennesee?



I really shoulda heard

From him by now,

He promised he'd write

When things settled down.

And send me money

For a ticket when things got better.



And mama I guess

He's just workin' hard

And you know how

Those cowboys are.

But it's been three weeks

And I ain't got a letter.



I'm in love and he's in Dallas,

I'm as blue as a girl can be.

Is he down there thinkin' about my love,

Or driftin' away from me?

And I'm in love and he's in Dallas,

And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be.

Can a promise reach from Texas,

All the way to Tennesee?



Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas,

I'm as blue as a girl can be.

Can a promise reach from Texas,

All the way to Tennesee?
