There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going there to see
No other feller knows her nobody only me
She cried so when I left her it'd like to broke my heart
And if we ever meet again we never more should part

Where the Rio Grande is flowing where stars are shining bright
We walk along the river on the quiet summer night
She said if you remember we parted long ago
You promised you'll come back again and never leave me so

She's the sweetest rose of color the fellow ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
Gimme talk about you dearest thing and sing of Resalee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee

Oh I'm going back to find her my heart is full of vow
We'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago
I'll pick the guitar gaily and sing the songs of yours
The Yellow Rose of Texas she'll be mine for evermore

She's the sweetest rose of color...

To the Yellow Rose in Texas I'm goin' yesiree
No other fellow know her nobody else but me
I'll pick the guitar gaily and sing the songs of yours
The Yellow Rose of Texas she'll be mine for evermore
