The Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see

Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as 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

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me

brief instrumental interlude

Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and starry skies are bright

She walks along the river in the quiet summer night

I know that she remembers when we parted long ago

I promised to return and not to leave her so

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me

brief instrumental interlude

Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe

We'll do the things together we did so long ago

We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before

And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me

instrumental and "la-la" scat to end
