The Yellow Rose Of Texas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going back to see No other fella knows her, nobody else but me She cried so when I left her it led to broke her heart And if we ever meet again, we nevermore shall part [Chorus] She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew Her eyes are light as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the Belles of Tennessee [Verse 3] Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the stars are shining bright We walked along the river on a quiet summer night She said, "If you remember, we parted long ago" I promised to come back again and not to leave her so [Chorus] She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the Belles of Tennessee [Verse 3] Oh, I'm going back to find her for my heart is full of woe We'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago I'll pick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore [Chorus] She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the Belles of Tennessee
