Oh, "Fire fire fire," they called at the Texas Fair And a cloud of smoke billowed into the hot fall air And Big Tex's hand continued to wave With his 70 gallon hat and his jeans all ablaze "Our cowboy's on fire!" they called on the radio And all the fire fighters knew just where to go Over to the fairgrounds, tears welling in their eyes To see the great cowboy give way to calm blue skies So we say goodbye to Big Tex Another outlaw laid to rest In the hot October air, the flames reached high And now he rides with the ghost riders in the sky So beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Sing the death march as the fire engines scream Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me The world's greatest cowboy has gone to our dreams They say it was an electric spark that did him in Some wire left ungrounded right below his chin I guess Tex never had time to look within To see a contraption unknown to men like him For long before the iron horse's din He was reading books by candlelight and harnessing the wind 'Til he saw a sign: "Cowboys needed. Come get paid" So Tex rode down to Fort Worth to meet his fate And we say goodbye to Big Tex Another outlaw laid to rest In the hot October air, the flames reached high And now he rides with the ghost riders in the sky So beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Sing the death march as the fire engines scream Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me The world's greatest cowboy has gone to our dreams No one knows just how that wire came undone And started that fire burning in the Texas sun I heard a man saying that Tex was past his prime That a new figure was needed for the modern skyline So wipe the soot from your face, wipe the tears from your eyes Another great icon soon will rise To tower before those blue Texas skies To welcome fair-goers with a gleam in his eyes And we say goodbye to Big Tex Another outlaw laid to rest In the hot October air, the flames reached high And now he rides with the ghost riders in the sky So beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Sing the death march the fire engines scream Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me The world's greatest cowboy has gone to our dreams
