There's lot's of things in Texas
That we all hold quite dear
The Alamo and cowboys
And rivers swift and clear
South Texas has the Rio Grande
The Neches and Pedernales
But we wonder why the good Lord put
The Trinity in Dallas

Roll mighty river
Roll on Trinity
Through the Texas flatlands
It oozes toward the sea
Roll on muddy buddy
Captain ring your bell
We'll be to the gulf tomorrow night
If we can stand the smell

They're building lakes and bridges
Because the canal's a glen
We don't believe it'll ever work
It's easy to understand
Imagine the confusion
Of a drunk man in his car
To see the old Queen Mary
Go under South Lamar

Roll mighty river
Roll on Trinity
Through the Texas flatlands
It oozes toward the sea
Roll on muddy buddy
Captain ring your bell
We'll be to the gulf tomorrow night
If we can stand the smell

We don't quite understand
The things that we're observing
We just don't see the purpose
That dear Old Muddy's serving
We've searched and searched the world
And the reason we're deserving
Just pray the rain keeps falling
And the wind blows out toward Irving

Roll mighty river
Roll on Trinity
Through the Texas flatlands
It oozes toward the sea
Roll on muddy buddy
Captain ring your bell
We'll be to the gulf tomorrow night
If we can stand the smell

We'll be to the gulf tomorrow night
If we can stand the smell
