Belle From San Antone

Well she was a beauty like nothing I'd seen
And I've been from Alaska to old New Orleans
She could walk like a princess in an old pair of jeans,
That Belle From San Antone.

She could drink more liquor than anyone in a crowd
She'd joke how it would've made Papa proud
When she cried, she cried softly
When she laughed, she laughed loud
That Belle From San Antone

(chorus)
Her Mama always told her "Stay away from the man
who puts gold in your pockets, but not on your hand"
But she loved the night life more than a wedding band
That Belle From San Antone

Well, she fell in with a drifter who just blew into town
I'd guess she loved him the best she knew how
But he's gone two years now, and she's still around
That Belle From San Antone

Her Mama always told her "Stay away from the man
who puts gold in your pockets, but not on your hand"
But she loved the night life more than a wedding band
That Belle From San Antone
