Watching the Texas Rivers Flow

There are a LOT of rivers in Texas. It's tough to put them in order (though we can all remember that the Rio Grande, the Sabine, and the Red Rivers run the border). Find out about the rest of them here!

I'm so glad I found this! I wrote this song in 2004 when I worked as a freelance writer for Ignite Learning. I have no idea who did the music, but they nailed it! I imagined it as a fast-talking country song in the vein of Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere", etc. The song takes its title from Bob Dylan's "Watching the River Flow", a pop reference. Of course, there are more than 22 rivers in Texas, but these are the main ones taught in the Texas history books...
