The Yellow Rose of Texas Lyrics |
1944 American western film The Yellow Rose of Texas - The Yellow Rose of Texas Lyrics
(Traditional American folk song)
There's a yellow girl 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
(Chorus:) 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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
