ALABAMA LYRICS





If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)

(Dan Mitchell/Murray Kellum)



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band



I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show

When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, "Cotton-Eyed Joe"!

He said, "We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong

There's just somethin' missin' in your song"



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band



So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight

Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case

You say y'all all wanna two-step

You say ya wanna doe-si-doe

Well, here's your fiddlin' song before we go



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
