There´s a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see
No
other cowboy knows her nobody only me
She
cried so when I left her it like to broke her heart
And
if we ever
meet again we
never more shall
part
She´s the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her
eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may
talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
But the
yellow rose of
Texas beats the
belles of Tennes
see
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and stars are shinning bright
We
walked along together on a quiet summer night
She
said if you remember when we parted long ago
You
promised to come
back again and
never leave me
so
She´s the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her
eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may
talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
But the
yellow rose of
Texas beats the
belles of Tennes
see
I´m going back to see her my heart is full of woe
We´ll
sing the song together we sang so long ago
We´ll
pick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
And the
yellow rose of
Texas will be
mine for ever
more
