There's a yellow rose in Texas
I'm going on to see,
She wants no other fellow,
Nobody, only me.
Oh, she cried so when I left her,
That it nearly broke her heart,
And I hope that way we meet again
We never mosh apart.
She's the sweetest little lady
A fellow ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds,
They sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest girls
and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee.
Down beside the Rio Grande,
The stars were shining bright,
She walked along to desert
On the quiet summer night:
I hope that she remembers,
How we parted long ago,
I'll keep my promise to return
And never let her go.
