alice from dallas

Foy Vance

You find pretty girls East and West
But the girls here in Texas are best
With my hand on my heart, I could set you a challenge
You won t find a girl like my Alice from Dallas

The girls North and South of here s fine
But there s only one girl on my mind
Her lips are like blooms and they never speak malice
How I love my Alice from Dallas

I once loved a girl from the mountains
And I rushed like the flow of a fountain
She was sweet as a rose but as the old story goes
My heart would set sail when that train whistle d blow

So I told her it wouldn t work out
And she cried and she screamed and she shouted
She sure was a find but my golden chalice
Lay here in Alice from Dallas

My Alice she s pure and she s true
She does more than a woman should do
She takes off my boots when I m feeling unbalanced
How I love my Alice from Dallas

She still holds my hand those these old hands are calloused
How I love my Alice from Dallas
