Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring
are synonymous!
What a beautiful display of God's beauty!



My friend, Lea, gave me a
beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by
You can see it by clicking the link above.
I love wearing it because it
reminds me of my roots.

I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned
in elementary school.

Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets,
With your coats so blue
Your bright eyes are shining
In the morning dew.
They say you're a dolly
Offered for the rain
And Texas wears blue
Bluebonnets in the Spring.

Anyone else sing that song as a child?

I remember singing that as a child too. I lived in San Antonio Tx and we used to sing that in Kindergarten in music class- 1986. Good memories!

I was taught at the end as I" hope you'll return again to Texas in the spring"

My daughter sang that at elementary school during the talent show.
The last verses she used were "I know you'll return again to Texas in the spring"

I learned a little different lyric from you. I'm 77 and here's what we sang.
Bluebonnets Bluebonnets
with your coats so blue
Your bright eyes are shining
through the silvery dew
I know you're a dolly
offered for the rain
I know you'll return again
to Texas in the spring.

I am so excited to see the words to this song! We sang in elementary school, growing up in Austin. I have looked for so long to find these words, because all I could remember were the first words "Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets" and the last words, "I know you'll return again to Texas in the Spring". Now I can sing them all!

Yes, I remember singing it every morning in 4th grade in Houston some 60+ years ago. But I always thought it was the state flower song. When I tried to look up the song just now, I found out another song about bluebonnets has that honor and has since 1933 I think.

Btw, we also sang the Texas state song and the state bird song, as I recall, all the while at attention sonext to our desks, facing the Texas flag standing next to the American flag. Funny how all those songs stuck with me all these years.

As a sidenote, along with all the homage paid to everything Texan, the Texas flag was at the same height as the USA flag... even at 9 years old, I got the picture. *wink* lol.
