The Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics - 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 never more 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, 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 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 rosebud 

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 rosebud
