YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS  

KD F A                                          D
There's  a Yellow Rose in Texas that I am gonna see 
          A
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me 
          D
She cried so when I left her, it like-ta froze my heart
         A                                    A7                      D
And if I ever find her, we never more will part

SHE'S THE SWEETEST LITTLE ROSEBUD  THAT TEXAS EVER KNEW A                                                                    
HER  EYES ARE BRIGHT AS DIAMONDS THEY SPARKLE LIKE THE DEW
                        D
YOU MAY TALK ABOUT YOUR CLEMENTINE  AND SING OF ROSALIE     
                  A                                                                A7                             D
BUT THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS IS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME

    D
Where the Rio grand is flowing and  starry skies are bright
       A
She walks along the river in the quiet summer nights
  D
I know that she remembers  when we parted long ago
   A                                                  A7                             D 
I promised to retu-rn,  and not to leave her so    
                         D
SHE'S THE SWEETEST LITTLE ROSEBUD ......

              D
Oh now I'm gonna find her while my heart is feeling bold
A
We'll do the things together we did so long ago 
            D
We'll play the banjo gaily , she'll love me like before
           A                                            A7                      D
And the Yellow Rose of Texas will be mine forevermore
