There's a yellow rose in Texas  I am going there to see.

No other fella knows her, no other one but me.
 6    5    6   6  6  -6   6  6   5   6   7    -8   8
She cried so when I left her I knew it broke her heart,

And if we ever meet again, we never more will part.
additional verses:
She's the sweetest rose of color a fella ever knew.
Her eyes re bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
When the Rio Grande is flowing, the 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 promise to return again, and not to leave her so.

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 Rosalee, 
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl 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 bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore, 
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.

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 Rosalee, 
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
