There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to
see.
No other soldier knows her, no soldier, only 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.
CHORUS
She's the sweetest rose of color, this soldier
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 starry
skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer
night.
She thinks, if I remember, when we parted long
ago,
I promised to come back again and not leave her
so.
CHORUS
Oh, now I'm going to find her, for my heart is
full of woe,
And we'll sing the song together, that we sang
so long ago.
We'll play the banjo gaily, and we'll sing the
songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forever
more.
CHORUS
