Lorraine-Dizzy Gillespie/Junior Mance

Along the palo duro canyon Red river shows so may eyes One eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me Black a oil, his hair shone Lily white, his skin glistened Restless as the reed between his lips blew It's just that mean old texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head What day is this? i, quiet, asked the sky What time is it? he asked me, sitting up Love that villan on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head What are you running from? I asked the white boy From the guys who chase me therecome run I need your dark skin To sit beside me in my car, light up my cigar I'll light you It's just that mean old texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head Love that villan on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head He said you're ony indian in oklahoma You could be melting in america White on red, melt with my skin These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel I need your dark skin It's just that mean old texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head The last I saw of oklahoma A gas station fading in the dusk Goodbye my father, I thought, I'm carrying the light The light of my comanche Make sure the dog remembers me I dream the sand beneath your feet I hold the light It's just that mean old texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head Love that villan on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
