1 SOL
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see,
RE7
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
SOL
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
RE7 SOL RE7 SOL
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part. CHORUS
2 SOL
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright,
RE7
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
SOL
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago;
RE7 SOL RE7 SOL
I promised to come back again and never let her go. CHORUS
3 SOL
Oh, now I'm goin' to find her, my heart is full of woe;
RE7
We'll sing the song together we sang so long ago.
SOL
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore,
RE7 SOL RE7 SOL
And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine for-ever-more. CHORUS
DOHORUS---
SOL
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
RE7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
SOL
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
RE7 SOL RE7 SOL
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
