When The Bluebonnets Bloom (Larry W. Jones 12/17/2006) (song#4235)

The fairest flower that Texas knows
Has the power to outshine the rose
Many poets have written the sonnet
Of the blue, blue Texas bluebonnet

Not a simple flower and never plain
From its blue beauty comes its name
Like a robin, bluebonnets in bloom
Say that Spring has arrived so soon

This flower grows in the rocks and rills
And like a blanket covers the Texas hills
Joy to the Texas world is what they say
When the bluebonnets bloom in May

Now let me sing that Robin's song
For bluebonnets say Winter is gone

Not a simple flower and never plain
From its blue beauty comes its name
Like a robin, bluebonnets in bloom
Say that Spring has arrived so soon

This flower grows in the rocks and rills
And like a blanket covers the Texas hills
Joy to the Texas world is what they say
When the bluebonnets bloom in May
