Bobby Horton - The Yellow Rose of Texas lyrics

rate me

Bobby Horton - The Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose of Texas

That I am going to see

No other fellow knows her

No other, 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

(Chorus)

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 dearest May

And sing of Rosa Lee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas

Is the only girl for me

Where the Rio Grande is flowing

And the starry skies are bright

She walks along the river

In the quiet summer night

She thinks if I remember

When we parted long ago

I promised to come back again

And never leave her so

(Chorus)

Oh now I'm going to find her

For my heart is full of woe

And we'll sing the song together

That we sang so long ago

We'll play the banjo gaily

And we'll sing the song of yore

And the Yellow Rose of Texas

Shall be mine for ever more

(Chorus)

*Some versions have these 2 lines as

the last lines of chorus*

But the Yellow Rose of Texas

Beats the girls of Tennessee
