Yellow Rose of Texas - RoyRogers

There is Yellow Rose of Texas

I'm going 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 flowing

And the stars are shining 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

I'm going 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
