The Yellow Rose of Texas (Album Version)

The Yellow Rose Of Texas - Various Artists

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

Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me

She cried so when I left her it was like it broke her heart

And if I ever find her we never more will part

She's the sweetest little rose bud 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 is the only girl for me

Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the starry skies are bright

She walks along the river in the quiet summer night

I know that she remembers when we parted long ago

I promise to return and not to leave her so

She's the sweetest little rose bud 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 is the only girl for me

Oh now I'm gonna find her for my heart is full of woe

We'll do the things together we did so long ago

We'll play the banjo gaily she'll loves me like before

And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forever more

She's the sweetest little rose bud 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 is the only girl for me
