Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas
 That I am going to see
 No other soldier knows her
 No soldier, only 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 rose of colour
 This soldier ever knew
 Her eyes are bright as diamonds,
 They sparkle like the dew
 You may talk about your dearest May
 And sing of Rosalee
 But the yellow rose of Texas is the only one for me.
 Oh, now I'm going to find her
 For my heart is full of woe
 And we'll sing the songs together
 That we sung so long ago
 We'll play the banjo gaily
 And we'll sing the songs of yore
 And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine for evermore
 Now I'm going southward, for my heart is full of woe
 I'm going back to Georgia, to find my uncle Joe
 You may talk about your Beauregard
 And sing of General Lee
 But the gallant hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee
 But the gallant hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee
