Unknown The Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics

THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS

1. There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see,
No other soldier knows her, no soldier 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 like 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.
2. When 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 not to leave her so

3. 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 songs of
yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.
