Yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose of Texas - Dave Red River

Written by：Trad.

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see

No other doukey other no doukey 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 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 be the bauner tender see

Where the Rio Grande is flowin' and starry skies are bright

She walks along the river in the quiet summer night

She thinked remembers 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 darky ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest may and sing of rosa lee

But the yellow rose of Texas beats

The belles of Tennessee

Oh now I'm going to find her

For my heart is full of woe

And we'll sing the songs together that

We sung so long ago

We'll play the bango gaily and we'll sing the songs of your

And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore

She's the sweetest rose of color this darky ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest may and sing of rosa lee

But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee

And now I'm going southward for my heart is full of woe

I'm going back to Georgia to by my uncle Joe

You may talk about your beauregard and sing of Bobbie lee

But the gallant hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee

She's the sweetest rose of color this darky ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest may and sing of rosa lee

But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
