I bought an old home in Del Rio
The status-quo stucco looked like the Alamo
Neighbor Jethro brought by his fresco
Lo and behold he showed where good neighbors abode
He offered tobacco to which I vetoed
I said I only smoke alone separate and solo
He wanted to know how I liked Del Rio
And if the lack of snow had made it all perfecto
And I replied...
( Chorus: )
Oh, why here it's so-so
but it is no, no Colorado
I miss my home and the cocoa
I wanna go home...
He helped me unload my piano
And then I played him oh a favorite concerto
He yelled profundo while I played allegro
And then he tip-tap-toed through my accelerandos
Gave him a banjo and said "strum what you know"
Then I pretended I was Dinos my old maestro
He kept in tempo and I said bravo
He picked the dearest notes that gave me thoughts of sweet hope
Oh....
(Chorus)
After the song show I offered jam
