Lyrics
There is a land, a western land
Mighty wonderful to see
It is the land I understand
And it’s there I long to be
Refrain:
The stars at night are big and bright
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The sage in bloom is like perfume
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
Reminds me of the one I love
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
Refrain
The coyotes wail along the trail
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry, “Ki-yip-pee-yi”
Deep in the heart of Texas
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl
(Clap Clap Clap Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
