Ernest Tubb - The Yellow Rose of Texas lyrics

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
