The Yellow Rose of Texas - Mitch Miller

There’s a yellow rose in Texas

That I am going to 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

(CHORUS)

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 Rosalie

But the Yellow Rose of Texas

Is the only girl for me Oh, the Rio Grande is flowing

And the 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 this home

(CHORUS)

Know I know I’m gonna find her

For my heart is all alone

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

(CHORUS)
