W:She's the sweetest rose of color a fellow ever knew,
W:Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew.
W:You may talk about your dear maids and sing of Rosy Lee,
W:But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.

W:2 When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
W:She walks along the river in the quite summer night:
W:She thinks if I remember, when we parted long ago,
W:I promised to come back again, and not to leave her so.

W:3 Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
W:And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago
W:We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
W:And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.
