There's a yellow rose in Texas that I'm gonna see
|
Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me
|
She cried so when I left her it'd like to broke my heart
|
And if I'd ever find her we never more will part
|
She's the sweetest little resebud that Texas ever knew
|
Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
|
Gimme talk about you Clementine and sing of Resalee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
|
[ guitar ]
|
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the skies are bright
|
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
|
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago
|
I promised that I'll return and not to leave her so
|
She's the sweetest little resebud...
|
[ fiddle ]
|
Now I'm going back to find her for my heart is full of [vow]
|
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 for ever more
|
She's the sweetest little resebud...
|
