There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago
I promised to come back again and never let her go
Oh, now I'm goin' to find her, my heart is full of woe
We'll sing the song together we sang so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine for-ever-more
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
