The Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics

There's a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other fellow knows her
No other, only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part

(Chorus)
She's the sweetest rose of color
This soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Is the only girl for me

Where the Rio Grande is flowing
And the starry skies are bright
She walks along the river In the quiet summer night
She thinks if I remember
When we parted long ago
I promised to come back again
And never leave her so

(Chorus)

Oh now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the song together
That we sang so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily
And we'll sing the song of yore
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine for ever more

(Chorus)

*Some versions have these 2 lines as
the last lines of chorus*

But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the girls of Tennessee
