There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna 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
|
|
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
|
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
|
You may talk about dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
|
|
Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and 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
|
|
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
|
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
|
You may talk about dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
|
|
Oh my feet are torn and bloody, and my heart if full of woe,
|
I'm going back to Georgia, to find my Uncle Joe,
|
You may talk about your Beauregard, and sing of Bobbie Lee,
|
But the gallant Hood of Texas, he played hell in Tennessee.
|
|
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
|
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
|
You may talk about dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee
|
But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
|
