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 never more will part She's the sweetest little resebud that Texas ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew Gimme talk about you Clementine and sing of Resalee But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the 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'll return and not to leave her so She's the sweetest little resebud... Now I'm going back to find her for my heart is full of vow 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 for ever more She's the sweetest little resebud...
