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 So now I'm going to 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 will be mine forever 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 your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me The yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me
