THE VALLEY LAND (air "SUNNY TENNESSEE")
By Mss. G. A. Young, Houston, Texas.
Written by request of the OST for-the Women•a Federated Clubs of the Brownsville Valley.
•Way down south on the Texas Border, there's a plaoe that's made to order
Talcs it from me, it's fine as fins can beJ
It*3 the Garden Spot of Texas, much to please and naught to
vex us
Why, Paradise was -never half so nice.
Chorus
In the Valley Land, of the Rio Grande
Where the palms and grape fruit grow
It's there I love to be, yea, that's the place for rae
Where the south winds play and the birds sing gay
And the rosea scent the air
I wander far, but I find my heart stays there
There's a roadway planned in the Valley Land, and it
Winds on toward th® sea.
And you can count on me, by the road I'll plant a tree
Well it's just my style. I'm a Booster all the while
This valley land, of the Rio Grande, Oh, it's battery et-'ry mile.

Tall the world'wa aint been blov/in1, start this way and just keep goin'
Till you c- n see, and then you'll all agree
Sand back word by wire and latter. "Where you're at is
good, but the Valley's better"
Now drop eg'rything, and help ua Boosters sing.
