Lyrics
There's a yellow rose in Texas
I'm going home to see
She wants no other fellow
Nobody, only me
Oh, she cried so when I left her
It nearly broke her heart
And I hoped that when we meet again
We're never more apart
She's the sweetest little lady
A fellow ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your TV scales
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Beats the bells of Tennessee
From south of Rio Grande
The stars were shining bright
We walked along together
One quiet summer night
I hope that she remembers
How we parted long ago
I'll keep my promise to return
And never let her go
