The wording of the song is as follows.[6]

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn --
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
Til Gabriel blows his horn.

Sing it to the tune of I've been working on the railroad.


What is supposed to be the racist part?



I think it has something to do with the ones that wrote it. Back then I
think it was meant to mean they are watching the Blacks or enslaves.

There are people that are looking out to find something racist in
everything. I think it is the DR Susis books that there are some
Oriental children and the eyes are just lines. Some want those books
taken off the shelves. Some American Indian wants the Jeep Cherokee
name changed.

I guess Indian motorcycles and Cree Electronics are next.
