The Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics - Mitch Miller

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see 

Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me 

She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart 

And if I 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 your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee 

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me 

brief instrumental interlude 

Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and starry 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 to return and not to leave her so 

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 your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee 

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me 

brief instrumental interlude 

Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe 

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 forevermore 

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 your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee 

But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me 

instrumental and "la-la" scat to end
