The Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas
 That I am gonna back to 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
 •••
 Where the Rio Grande is flowin'
 And starry 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 to return
 And not to leave her so
 •••
 Oh, now I'm gonna 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
 Shall be mine forevermore
