Y is a hard letter for Texas. I found a couple of places but they were strange or didn’t really seem to fit the sort of thing I was going for. So, I went for a good old Texas folk song.

Who doesn’t enjoy an Elvis Presley version of a song?
And a Civil War version (from what I can determine). . .
Blessings,
At Home.
