| There’s a yellow rose in Texas
|
| That I am going to 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
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| 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 Rosalie
|
| But the Yellow Rose of Texas
|
| Is the only girl for me Oh, 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 promised to return
|
| And not to leave this home
|
| (CHORUS)
|
| Know I know I’m gonna find her
|
| For my heart is all alone
|
| 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
|
| (CHORUS) |
