The Yellow Rose Of Texas

The Yellow Rose Of Texas - Ronnie Hilton

There's a yellow rose in texas that i'm gonna see

No other soldier knows her no soldier only 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 rosebud that texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

Gimme talk about your clementine and sing of rosalie

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me

Where the rio grandee 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 rosebud that texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

Gimme talk about your clementine and sing of rosalie

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me

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 rosebud that texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

Gimme talk about your clementine and sing of rosalie

But the yellow rose of texas is the only girl for me
