Yellow Rose Of Texas

There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' there to see No other feller knows her Nobody, only me. She cried so when I left her It like to broke my heart And if we ever meet again We never more will part. She's the sweetest rose of color A cowboy 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 stars are shinin' bright, We walked along the river On a bright summer night, She said, "If you remember, We parted long ago, You promised to come back again, And never let me go." She's the sweetest rose of color A cowboy 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. Instrumental I'm goin' back to find her, My heart is full of woe, We'll sing the songs together We sang so long ago, I'll fix the banjo gayly And sing of long ago, And the Yellow Rose of Texas, Is to be mine forevermore. She's the sweetest rose of color A cowboy 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.
