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 like done broke my 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 new You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee 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 She's the sweetest little rose bud that Texas ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds They sparkle like the new You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee But the yellow rose of Texas Is the only girl for me Oh, now I'm gonna to find her For my heart is full of hope 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 forever more She's the sweetest little rose bud that Texas ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds They sparkle like the new You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee But the yellow rose of Texas Is the only girl for me La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la
