Lyrics:

1. There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
No other soldier knows her, no soldier only me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her, we never more will part

CHORUS: 1×

She's the sweetest rose of color, this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bride as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the Yellow Rose Of Texas beats the Belles of Tenesse

2. Where the Rio Grande is flowing, and the stars are shining bright
She walks along the river, in the quiet summer night
She thinks if I remember, when we parted long ago
I promise to come back again and not to leave her so

CHORUS: 1×

She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bride as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the Yellow Rose Of Texas beats the Belles of Tenesse

I don't own the pictures and the music.
