Yellow Rose of Texas
There's a yellow rose in Texas That I am going to see No other soldier knows her No soldier, only 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 rose of colour This soldier ever knew Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew You may talk about your dearest May And sing of Rosalee But the yellow rose of Texas is the only one for me. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, now I'm going to find her For my heart is full of woe And we'll sing the songs together That we sung so long ago We'll play the banjo gaily And we'll sing the songs of yore And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine for evermore Now I'm going southward, for my heart is full of woe I'm going back to Georgia, to find my uncle Joe You may talk about your Beauregard And sing of General Lee But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee
