The Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics - Dale Evans

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. 

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
