The Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me She cried so when I left her it was like it broke her heart And if I ever find her we never more will part She's the sweetest little rose bud 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 Grand 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 promise to return and not to leave her so She's the sweetest little rose bud 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 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 loves me like before And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forever more She's the sweetest little rose bud 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
