Lyrics

Do you know why the trees bend
At the west texas border?
Do you know why they bend
And sway and twine?
The trees bend because of the wind
Along that lonesome border
The trees bend because of the wind
All along the line

Have you seen my caroleen
Up in amarillo?
Have you seen my caroleen
The one that I call mine?
Well, if you see my caroleen
With her hair of yellow
If you see my caroleen
Tell her I'm doin' fine

She is to me just like the breeze
That blows from corpus christi
She is to me just like the breeze
That blows up from the sea
Well, if she is like the breeze
That blows from corpus christi
Then I must be like the trees
Cause caroleen blows through me

Do you know why the trees bend
At the west texas border?
Do you know why they bend
And sway and twine?
The trees bend because of the wind
Along that lonesome border
The trees bend because of the wind
Almost all the time

The trees bend because of the wind
All along the line
