|
There's a yellow rose in Texas |
|
that I am gonna back 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 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 |
|
CHORUS |
|
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 |
|
CHORUS |
