If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle In the Band)

Danny Mitchell, Danny Joe Mitchell, Murry 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"

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 want to two-step, you say ya want to doe-si-doe
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go
