The Yellow Rose Of Texas Songtext
von Ernest Tubb

There′s a yellow rose in Texas that I'm gonna see
Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me
She cried so when I left her it′d like to broke my heart
And if I'd ever find her we nevermore 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 Rosalee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me


Where the Rio Grande is flowing and 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 promised that I′d return 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

Now I'm going back to 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 forever more


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
