I've been trying to put a favorite song of mine into sign, but I'm not having much luck. Usually, I try to take English and write out the words used in sign, in the proper grammar, so I can sign in general. Trying to do this with lyrics isn't working out so well. Partly because I'm not experienced enough to translate English phrases into sign.

If anyone can help, that would be great. This is what I have so far.

A Girl Named Tex

Have you heard the story of You know.
a girl named Beth, Girl name Beth
now known as Tex? Now name Tex
Her life's tale is a bloody trail. Her life Bloody
Her name fits like a glove. Her name glove alike

Her daddy sighed as she slammed the door. Her dad sigh
She said to him, "I'm Beth no more." She tell him Me Beth finish
"My life's dream is to kill for green, Me live dream Me want kill get money
but first I'll join the corps." First Me join Corps
Her daddy said "You're just a girl, Her dad tell her you girl
what makes you think that you won't sink..?" You know not fail how
"My name is Tex and I'm like a hex, Me name Tex curse alike
my playground is the world." World my playground

Basic turned her gun to gold. ???
Soon had it made, she'd hit by trade. ???
Amassing kills, she proved her skills.. ???
Make your blood run cold. ???

I once saw Texas at a bar, Past me meet Tex where bar
sipping Rye with some apple pie. Drink Rye with apple pie
With a distant stare, like she didn't care, She look far no care
she said, "What's with the guitar?" Ask me guitar why

I must admit my lips went numb. Me nervous
Some butterbar said, his face all red. Man drunk red face
"She's too good, 'n you're driftin wood." Tell me she best
Said "Boy you better run." Tell me leave

Texas said, "Sir keep your peace, Texas tell him quiet
my heart is free and so is he." My hear free
"I'd give it to any man who's true." Love give good man
The safeties were released. ???

He drew before he replied, Man grab gun
but Tex was hot and he was not. Tex shot first
He lay dead while Texas bled, Man dead Texas blood
crimson, on her side. Red on side

Yellow rose of Texas clad in black. Yellow rose from Texas clothing black
"Lonely Star" tattooed upon her back. "Lonely Star" tattoo back
Double Tex she'll hit you like a truck. ???
Double Tex and she'll mess you up. ???

Texas said, "This could be my last I guess." Texas tell me today last day maybe
"I gotta go, but now you know Me leave you know now
I want a song to live for long." Me want song of me
"It's a fair request." OK

Texas made it out I heard, Someone tell me Texas fine
but her one need I did heed Song of her me make
I think of Beth while mocking death, Remember Beth Mock death
like a mocking bird. alike bird

Yellow rose of Texas clad in black... Yellow rose from Texas clothing black...
