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 break my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part.
She's the sweetest rose of color
A fellow 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.

Oh, now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the song together
That we sung 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.
