There's a yellow rose in
Texas that I'm gonna see
Nobody else could miss her,
not half as much as me
She cried, so when I left her
it'd like to broke my heart
And if I'd 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 Clementine,
and sing of Rosalee
But the yellow rose of Texas is
the only girl for me
Where the Rio Grande is flowing
and the 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 that I'll 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 Clementine,
and sing of Ros alee
But the yellow rose of Texas is
the only girl for me
Now I'm going back to find her,
for my heart is full of vow
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 for ever more
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 Clementine,
and sing of Rosalee
But the yellow rose of Texas
is the only girl for me
