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
