The Yellow Rose of Texas (Album Version)

The Yellow Rose of Texas (Album Version) - Mitch Miller & The Gang

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 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

Is the only girl for me

Where the Rio Grande is flowin'

And 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 promised to 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

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 love me like before

And the Yellow Rose of Texas

Shall be mine forevermore

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

Is the only girl for me
