The Eyes of Texas

The Eyes of Texas performed by The Longhorn Band
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live long day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
You can not get away
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn'
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
'Till Gabriel blows his horn

In an October 2018 article in “The Daily Texan,” titled “UT must educate new students on racism of ‘The Eyes of Texas,“ author Maggie Lazaroski explains that the author of the song, John Sinclair, was a member of the Varsity Minstrel Show, a performance group that “perpetuated the notion that African-Americans were lesser than whites.” Lazaroski also posits that UT should be more transparent to incoming students about the songs origins, giving them the choice whether or not they want to participate in the tradition. African-American UT senior Joshua Ellis told the Dallas Morning News in February 2019 that after learning about the song’s racist origins, he refused to sing it. “After I took Dr. Gordon’s class during my freshman year, I immediately stopped singing the song. At football games, I sit down during the song and don’t even acknowledge it.”

LSU fan here ; went to tail gate at UT game this past weekend. I asked my wife of 20 years and a UT graduate why they did not play this song; ( she is first generation Mexican American) said becuz it was deemed racist. Wow what a beautiful tune was really hoping to hear the band play it. Very very disappointing.

They got what from?

What Is This?

[@mikelewis495]

I don't get it. What's racist about this? Are there verses that weren't played here or something?

[@impassable]

The only people calling this racist are crazy

[@jay5x634]

The song isn’t, it’s the racial undertones and history behind it

[@Steelburgh]

Racist origins and the tune is from a racists kids' song. I'd think you'd want something original anyway.

Texas is THE BEST place I have ever been--its people, football, food all of it (yes, even the hot summer days are good)...regardless where I have been in my life, I always brag about how great Texas is. And I am asked: where are you from in Texas? Such a compliment; even though I wasn't born within the state of Texas....it's the place my heart calls home...even miles away. Hook 'em \m/
