This is the story of the Yellow Bandana
|
A handsome young soldier and the girl named Rosana
|
|
Away out west in the wilds on New Mexico
|
There lived a girl and the soldier who loved her so
|
And every night neath the full crimson moon above
|
This brave young soldier would pledge her his love
|
|
And he gave Rosana his yellow bandana
|
To wear in her hair till he's with her once more
|
He gave Rosana his yellow bandana
|
Mounted his pony and rode off to war
|
|
His orders came and he had to ride west again
|
Seems that Apaches were causing unrest again
|
He kissed Rosana goodbye as he rode away
|
Promising this time he'd come back to stay
|
|
And he gave Rosana...
|
|
That war was over and he came back home and found
|
That the Apaches had burned the whole village down
|
And neath the tree where he'd last kissed Rosana
|
Draped on the cross was his yellow bandana
|
|
And he gave Rosana...
|
He gave Rosana...
