G There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm going for to see, D D7 no other soldier knows her, nobody only me. G She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart, D7 G D D7 G and if I ever find her, we never more will part. G She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew. D D7 Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew. G You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie, D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee. G Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright, D D7 she walks along the river in the quiet summer night. G She thinks if I remember we parted long ago; D7 G D D7 G I promised to come back again and never let her go. G She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew. D D7 Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew. G You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie, D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee. G Oh, now I'm going to find her, my heart is full of woe; D D7 we'll sing the song together we sang so long ago. G We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore, D G D D7 G and the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forever more. G She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew. D D7 Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew. G You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie, D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
