The Yellow Rose Of Texas

The Yellow Rose Of Texas - Roy Rogers

There's a Yellow Rose of Texas

I'm goin' there to see

No other feller knows her

Nobody only me

She cried so when I left her

It like to broke my heart

And if we ever meet again

We never more will part

She's the sweetest rose of color

A cowboy 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

Where the Rio Grande is flowin'

And the stars are shinin' bright

We walked along the river

On a bright summer night

She said If you remember

We parted long ago

You promised to come back again

And never let me go

She's the sweetest rose of color

A cowboy 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

I'm goin' back to find her

My heart is full of woe

We'll sing the songs together

We sang so long ago

I'll fix the banjo gayly

And sing the song of yours

And the Yellow Rose of Texas

Is to be mine forevermore

She's the sweetest rose of color

A cowboy 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
