There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna 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 never more 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 Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and starry skies are bright
|
She walks along the river in the quiets of her night
|
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago
|
I promised to return 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 Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe
|
We'll do the things together we did so long ago
|
We'll play the banjo 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 Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
|
