The Yellow Rose of Texas
There's a yellow rose in Texas That I'm going to see; No other Soldiers know her No Soldier, only me; She cried so when I left her That it like to broke my heart, And if I only find her, we never more will part.
She's the sweetest rose of colour That a Soldier ever knew; Her eyes are bright as diamonds, And sparkle like they do. You may talk about your Dearest Mae, And sing of Rosa Lee, But the yellow Rose of Texas Beats the belles of Tennessee . Where the Rio Grand' is flowing, And the starry skies are bright, She walks along the river In the quiet summer night; And she thinks if I remember When we parted long ago, I promised to come back again, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And not to leave her so. (Repeat)
Oh, I'm going now to find her, For my heart is full of woe, And we'll sing the songs together That we sang so long ago. We'll play the banjo gaily, And we'll sing our sorrows o'er, And the yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forever more. She's the sweetest rose of colour That a Soldier ever knew; Her eyes are bright as diamonds, And sparkle like they do. You may talk about your Dearest Mae, And sing of Rosa Lee, But the yellow Rose of Texas Beats the belles of Tennessee . But the yellow Rose of Texas Beats the belles of Tennessee .
