Lyrics
There's a yellow rose in Texas.

That I'm going down to see

No other darkies know her No darkey, only me

She cried so when I left her

That it like to broke my heart,

And if I only find her we never more will part

She's the sweetest girl of color

That this darkey ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds And sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Dearest Mae And sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow Rose of Texas Beats the belles of Tennessee.

Where the Rio Grande is flowing And the starry skies are bright

Oh, she walks along the river In the quiet summer night

And she thinks if I remember When we parted long ago I promised to come back again And not to leave her so.

Oh, I'm going now to find her For my heart is full of woe

And we'll sing the songs together That we sang so long ago We'll play the banjo gaily

And we'll sing our sorrows o'er

And the yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forever more!
