Yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose of Texas - Free Country

Written by：Trad./Stefan Ecker/Manni Daum

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

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Where the Rio Gander is flowing

And the starry skies are bright

Oh she walks along the river

In the quiet summer night

And she thinks if I remember

When we parted long ago

I promised to come back again

And not to leave her so

She's the sweetest girl of colour

That this darkey ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds

And sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest Mae

And sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow rose of Texas

Beats the belles of Tennessee

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Oh I'm going now to find her

For my heart is full of woe

And we'll sing the songs together

That we sang so long ago

We'll play the banjo gaily

And we'll sing our sorrows o'er

And the yellow rose of Texas

Shall be mine forever more

She's the sweetest girl of colour

That this darkey ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds

And sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest Mae

And sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow rose of Texas

Beats the belles of Tennessee

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose yellow Rose yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose of Texas

Yellow Rose of Texas
