She's the sweetest rose of color that Texas ever knewEyes bright as diamonds, sparkle like the dewYou could talk about your Clementine and sing the RosalieThe yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for meWell, I'm going away to find her, my heart is full of woeWe'll sing the songs together we sang too long agoWe'll play the banjo gaily, we'll sing the songs of yoreAnd the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forevermoreWhere the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are brightShe walks along the river in the quiet summer nightAnd thinks that I'll remember when it left so long agoPromised I'd come back again and never leave her sideThere's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to seeAin't no other fella that loves a girl like meI cried to her when I left her, like it broke my heartIf I can never find her, I know we'll never partShe's the sweetest rose of color that Texas ever knewEyes bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dewYou can talk about your Clementine and sing the RosalieThe yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me*
