|
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.
|
|
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
|
|
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.
