Recorded by Ernest Tubb Written by Don George [Intro] *Nice little cliche lick from texas music that starts on the IV and resolves to the I F G C [Verse 1]
C
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I'm gonna see

  G7                                           C
Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me

    C
She cried so when I left her it like to broke my heart

    F           C           G7              C
And if I'd ever find her we never more will part
[Chorus]
 C
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

    G7                                                C
Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

    C
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee

        F              C            G7            C
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
[Verse 2]
C
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the starry skies are bright

    G7                                        C
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night

  C
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago

  F             C              G7               C
I promised that I'd return and not to leave her so
[Chorus]
 C
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

    G7                                                C
Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

    C
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee

        F              C            G7            C
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
[Verse 3]
C
Now I'm going back to find her for my heart is full of vow

      G7                                    C
We'll do the things together we did so long ago

      C
We'll play the banjo gaily she'll love me like before

        F              C              G7            C
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine for ever more
[Chorus]
C
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew

    G7                                                C
Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

    C
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalee

        F              C            G7            C
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
