W: There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see,
W: No other soldier knows her, no soldier only me;
W: She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
W: And if I ever find her, we never more will part.
W: 
W: Cho: She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew,
W: Her eyes are bright like diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
W: You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,
W: But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
W: 
W: When  the  Rio Grande is flowing, and the starry skies are bright
W: She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
W: She thinks if I remember, when we parted long ago,
W: I promised to come back again and not to leave her so
W: 
W: Oh, now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe
W: And we'll sing the song together, that we sang so long ago
W: We'll play the banjo gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
W: And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.
