There's a yellow
rose in Texas that I am going to see,
No other soldier knows
her, no soldier 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 like 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.
When 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 not to leave her so
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 songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose
of Texas shall be mine forevermore. |
