GThere's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see
No D7other cowboy knows her nobody only me
She Gcried so when I left her it like to broke her heart
And Cif we ever Gmeet again we D7never more shall Gpart
GShe's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her D7eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may Gtalk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
But the Cyellow rose of GTexas beats the D7belles of TennesGsee
GWhere the Rio Grande is flowing and stars are shinning bright
We D7walked along together on a quiet summer night
She Gsaid if you remember when we parted long ago
You Cpromised to come Gback again and D7never leave me Gso
GShe's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her D7eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may Gtalk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
But the Cyellow rose of GTexas beats the D7belles of TennesGsee
GI'm going back to see her my heart is full of woe
We'll D7sing the song together we sang so long ago
We'll Gpick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
And the Cyellow rose of GTexas will be D7mine for ever Gmore
