The Yellow Rose Of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas, That I am going to see,

Nobody else could miss her, Not half as much as me.

She cried so when I left her It like to broke my heart,

And if I ever find her, We nevermore will part.

She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;

You may talk about your clementine, And sing of Rosalee,

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me.

When the Rio Grande is flowing, The starry skies are bright,

She walks along the river In the quiet summer night:

I know that she remembers, When we parted long ago,

I promise to return again, And not to leave her so.

She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;

You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me.

Oh now I'm going to find her, For my heart is full of woe,

We'll do the things together, We did so long ago

We'll play the bango gaily, She'll love me like before,

And the Yellow Rose of Texas Shall be mine forevermore.

She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;

You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me.
