Oh, the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl I love

Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above

Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go

But my heart's in Amarillo and that's where it will stay

         G
With the yellow rose of Texas so I'd better get there fast

'Cause I know I was her first love and I want to be her last
