About La Grange

This song is about the infamous "Chicken Ranch" bordello located in La Grange, TX. It was also idealized in the musical "Best Little Whorehouse In Texas" starring Burt Reynolds, Dolly Parton, Jim Nabors and Dom DeLuise. The Chicken Ranch actually existed and if you're ever down this way, La Grange is located SSW of Austin about midway to Houston. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "La Grange" at number 92 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. .

La Grange Lyrics

[00:08.23] Rumour spreadin' 'round
[00:10.87] In that Texas town
[00:14.85] About that shack outside La Grange
[00:19.46] And you know what I'm talkin' about
[00:21.21] Just let me know
[00:22.76] If you wanna go
[00:25.91] To that home out on the range
[00:29.90] They got a lot of nice girls
[00:33.19]
[00:37.47] Have mercy
[00:41.78] A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw
[00:44.78] A haw, haw, haw
[00:46.23] Well, I hear it's fine
[00:49.13] If you got the time
[00:52.88] And the ten to get yourself in
[00:56.87] A hmm, hmm
[00:58.45] And I hear it's tight
[01:01.47] Most every night
[01:04.92] But now I might be mistaken
[01:09.37] Hmm, hmm, hmm
[01:11.98] Ah have mercy
[01:13.67]
