Yellow Rose Of Texas by Roy Rogers Lyrics

There's a yellow rose of Texas
I'm goin' there to see
No other feller knows her
Nobody, only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if we ever meet again
We never more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color
A cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Where the Rio Grande is flowin'
And the stars are shinin' bright
We walked along the river
On a bright summer night
She said, "If you remember
We parted long ago
You promised to come back again
And never let me go."
She's the sweetest rose of color
A cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Instrumental
I'm goin' back to find her
My heart is full of woe
We'll sing the songs together
We sang so long ago
I'll fix the banjo gayly
And sing of long ago
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Is to be mine forevermore
She's the sweetest rose of color
A cowboy ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
