YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS
Oh, now I'm goin' to find her, my heart is full of woe; We'll sing the song together we sang so long ago. We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore, And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine for-ever-more.

She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew. Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew. You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie, But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
