Lyrics
There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I am going to see
No other cowboy knows her
Nobody, only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke her heart
And if we ever meet again
We never more should part
She's the sweetest rose of color
This 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 bells of Tennessee
When the Rio Grande is flowing
And the stars are shining bright
We walked along together
On a quiet summer night
She said if you remember
When 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 bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And you sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the bells of Tennessee
I'm going back to see you
My hearth is full of woe
We'll sing the songs together
We sang so long ago
We'll play my banjo gaily
And sing 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 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
