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 shall 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 maids and sing of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
Where 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 maids and sing of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
I'm going back to see her, my heart is full of woe
We'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago
We'll pick the 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 maids and sing of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
