There's a yellow rose in Texas, I'm going there to see.
I know she's waiting for me, 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.
[CHORUS]
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 Rosy Lee,
But the yellow rose of Texas, is the only one for me.
Oh, I'm going back to find her, my heart is full of woe.
We'll sing the songs together, that we sang so long ago.
I'll pick the banjo gaily, and sing the songs of yore.
The Yellow Rose of Texas, shall be mine forever more. [to chorus]
