The Yellow Rose Of Texas
Yellow Rose Of Texas - Lyrics & Chords
|
G |
| There's a |
yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see, |
|
D7 |
| No other soldier |
knows her, no soldier, only me; |
|
G |
| She |
cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart, |
|
D7 |
G |
D7 |
G |
| And i |
f I ever |
find her, we never |
more will p |
art. |
Chorus:
| G |
| She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew, |
|
D7 |
| Her eyes are bright as |
diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; |
|
G |
| You may |
talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee, |
|
D7 |
A7 |
| But the |
Yellow Rose of Tex |
as |
|
G |
D7 |
G |
| beat the |
belles of |
Tennes |
see. |
When the Rio Grande is flowing
and the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night;
She thinks if I remember, when we parted long ago,
I promised to come back again and not to leave her so.
Oh, now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the song 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 forevermore.
