Texas Bar-B-Que
By: Wayne Brown
Chicken, sausage, or beef and a rack of ribs too
It’s all your choice with Texas Bar-B-Que
Cooked over fires of slow-burning mesquite wood
It gives it great flavor and it is oh so good
The chicken absorbs all of that great wood smoke
It slices up tender and juicy; that’s no joke
And the sausage, oh it’s something to savor
Just drippin’ with juice and loaded with flavor
The beef brisket comes either sliced or chopped
While it is cooking with spice it is mopped
Slice it thin and lay on some sauce thick
Chop and pile on a bun, that’ll do the trick
Mister, with those ribs you can never go wrong
Their flavorful and tender just fallin’ off the bone
Suck up the flavor and lick every finger
There’s lots more ribs to eat so let’s not linger
Dill pickles, peppers, onions are included in the fare
Brother you’ve missed it if you haven’t been there
Oh and those vinegar sauces with which you can baste
They really enhance the meat and bring out the taste
A combo plate is the best with all the meats in sample
Baste on the sauce; the mix of flavors will be ample
Throw in some hot rolls or a few pieces of loaf bread
And brother you get ready, you’re about to get fed!
Put some honey on those rolls; got it goin’ now, Hoss
Get a big ol’ bite of brisket and dip it in the sauce
A spoon full of pinto beans and homemade cole-slaw
Anything this good might just be against the law
Texas has got one of everything and some stuff we got two
But there ain’t much that’s here better than ol’ barbeque
So don’t go through Texas without doing what you should
Buy some Texas Barbeque, and tell everyone, it’s good!
