There's a
yellow rose in
Texas I'm going now to see
No other cowboy loves her
Nobody, only me
She cried so when I left her
It nearly broke my heart
And if we ever meet again
We never more shall part
She's the sweetest rose of color
This cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are like diamonds,
they sparkle like padauk
You may talk about your fairest maid,
or sing of
Rosalie
But the yellow rose of
Texas beats the bells of
Tennessee
Where the
Rio
Grande is flowing and stars
are shining bright
We walked along that river
one cold and quiet night
She said, do you remember
we parted long ago
You promised to come back
again and never leave me so
She's the sweetest rose of
color this cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are like the diamonds,
they sparkle like they do
You may talk about your
fairest maid or sing of
Rosalie
But the yellow rose of
Texas beats the bells of
Tennessee
Now I'm going back to see her,
my heart is full of woe
We'll sing the songs together
we sang so long ago
I'll pick the banjo gaily and
play the songs of yore
And the yellow rose of
Texas will be mine forevermore
She's the sweetest rose of
color this cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are like the diamonds,
they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your fairest
maid or sing of
Rosalie
But the yellow rose of
Texas beats the bells of
Tennessee
