Red Steagall - Big Texas Moon Lyrics

Banjos are ringin' on Saturday night
Folks are all dancin' by the campfire light
Fiddlers are playing a cracker-jack of a tune
Under the wash of a big yellow moon
Boys in the bunk house are shined up and cleaned
The cowgirls cut a rug in their new Wrangler jeans

There's a big Texas moon out tonight
If Charlie Russel was here he'd paint it just right
Big Texas moon out tonight

Ladies are laugin' watchin' their men
Little kids are playin with their neighbors and friends
A cowboy takes a fancy to a blond, blue eyed girl
Ain't it pretty how the moonlight highlights her curls
And off in the distance a coyote sings
And the stars shine like diamonds in a high dollar ring

There's a big Texas moon out tonight
If Charlie Russel was here he'd paint it just right
Big Texas moon out tonight

Old folks are leavin' the campfire's burning low
Little kids are laid out like a pile of dominos
The cowboy and the blond, blue eyed girl slipped away
Out in the barn behind the big stack of hay
The fiddler keeps fiddlin' and the banjo man sings
A cowboy does the shuffle just like his feet had wings

There's a big Texas moon out tonight
If Charlie Russel was here he'd paint it just right
Big Texas moon out tonight

There's a big Texas moon out tonight
If Charlie Russel was here he'd paint it just right
Big Texas moon out tonight
