No Good Texas Rounder - Kenny Rogers

Excuse me, maґm

Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening

Thereґs a new band in town

Iґd like to take her down to see ґem

The fiddler player used to be my neighbor

And he never slept a day in his life

He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ

When he gets going he can play all night

And her mama said:

Heґs a no good Texas cowboy, child

Heґll love you up and heґll drive you wild

Then heґll leave you

Heґs a no good Texas rounder, girl

Got a one-track mind

And he ainґt on true love and thatґs for sure

She said Iґve met his kind before

Iґve met your kind before.

Excuse me, maґm

Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening

My intentions are good, a man of honor

Please, ignore any rumors that have blackened my name

Iґm just an innocent boy

How could I be to blame?

Weґll be late for the show

And I took her hand and said letґs go And her mama said:

Heґs a no good …

Excuse me, maґm

Iґd like your daughterґs hand for the evening

I think you know the band

Iґd like to take her down to see ґem

Iґd been led to understand the fiddler was your man

Thatґs why he never slept a day in his life

He plays the ЂњStrawberry RoanЂќ

Just to get you going then you play all night.

And the daughter said:

He was a no good Texas …
