Northeast Texas Women
by Willis Alan Ramsey


Intro:   bass notes  (D/F#, G/B, and A/C#)


D*   G*   A*   D*   (2x)


                D**           G A     	            D
Say if you're South of Oklahoma, east of New Mexico,
  D             G         A                     D
West of Louisiana, where Papa Charles always go
    D                           G
We gotta a little place called Texas
           A              D
Where the women grow on trees
       D                    G
There right there for the pickin' good buddy
         A                    D
Just as easy as a man could please

Chorus:
 G   D/F#     Em
Run take a hold
                   G     D/F#       Em
You're gonna get young 'fore ya get old
             G          D/F#  Em
Those Texas ladies are Texas gold
                              A
Kisses that are sweeter than cactus
                     D (this begins intro 1x)
Take no practice to love yeah

XXXXXX

Now there east of Amarillo, a little south of old Dime Box
You can find a Cinderella 
Or a genuine Goldilocks
And if ya don't like no love attachments,
If your taste in women gets strange
You could probably find some things to live on,
Down in old La Grange

Chorus:
You better run tell the world
You gotta have a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
her aluminum dimples
Cause she's so simple to love


Harmonica solo (like maybe ½ a verse and ½ a chorus plus tag) 


Now she's probably in Dallas, maybe down in old Cowtown
I've heard em tell Texas women
Beat the others lyin' down
I just thought I might tell you
In case you were unaware
'Bout those northeast Texas women 
With their cotton candy hair

Chorus:
You run dig a hole, 
You gonna get young before you get old
Now Texas women are Texas gold
Ahh there sweeter than cactus

(like intro)
Easy to love, yeah, easy to love
Easy to love, mmmmm

Chorus:
You run tell the world,
How you'll get Lone star girls
With their cast iron curls,
She's sweeter than cactus
And easy to love....


*Part of the feel of this song is the little ½ step slides up to these chords.  It's mostly in the intro and verses.  It's kinda like the verses of "Jailhouse Rock" except the little slides are ½ the duration in this song.  Slide from one fret behind where you'd play.  If you're playing it alone on guitar, you might want to use the following bar chords to get all of the chords' notes to have the slide up sound:


     D        G        A
e   x/5       3        5
B    7        3        5
G    7        4        6
D    7        5        7
A    5        5        7
E    x       x/3      x/5


** the chords in the verses are indicated as close as possible above words where the real chord comes in on the downbeat, not the little slide up part.
