w:There's a yel-low rose in Tex-as that I'm a-goin' to see,
 E2 |E2d2 d2d2 |d2 c4 A2 |G2A2 B2c2 | B6
w: No bo-dy else can have her, no-bo-dy on-ly me.
 E2 |C2E2 E2E2 |F2 E4 D2 |C2E2 A2B2 | c6
w:She cried so when I left her, It near-ly broke my heart
E2 |E2d2 d2d2 |d2c2 B2A2 |A2E2 c3B | A4
w:And if I ev-er find her then we ne-ver more will part.
 E3D |C2E2 E2E2 |F2 E4 D2 |C2E2 A2B2 | c6
w:She's the sweet-est lit-tle rose-bud That Tex-as ev-er knew.
E2 |E2d2 d2d2 |d2 c4 A2 |G2A2 B2c2 | B6
w:Here eyes are bright as dia-monds, They spark-le like the dew.
E2 |C2E2 E2E2 |F2 E4 D2 |C2E2 A2B2 | c6

w:The Yel-low Rose of Tex-as is the on-ly girl for me.
W:There's a yellow rose in Texas
W:That I'm a-goin' to see,
W:Nobody else can have her,
W:Nobody only me.
W:She cried so when I left her,
W:It nearly broke my heart
W:And if I ever find her
W:Then we never more will part.
W:
W:(Chorus)
W:She's the sweetest little rosebud
W:That Texas ever knew.
W:Here eyes are bright as diamonds,
W:They sparkle like the dew.
W:You talk about your Dinah
W:And sing of Rosalie,
W:The Yellow Rose of Texas
W:Is the only girl for me.
W:
W:Where the Rio Grande is flowing
W:Under starry skies so bright
W:She walks along the river
W:In the quiet summer night
W:She thinks, as I remember,
W:When we parted long ago
W:And if I ever find her,
W:I won't ever let her go.
W:
W:Oh, now I'm going to find her,
W:And my heart is full of woe.
W:We'll sing the songs together
W:We sang so long ago.
W:We'll play the banjo gaily
W:And sing the songs of yore.
W:And the Yellow Rose of Texas
W:Will be mine for evermore.
