Yellow Rose of Texas
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.
She's the sweetest rose of colour
This soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds,
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosalee
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only one for me.

Oh, now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the songs together
That we sung so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily
And we'll sing the songs of yore
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine for evermore
Now I'm going southward, for my heart is full of woe
I'm going back to Georgia, to find my uncle Joe
You may talk about your Beauregard
And sing of General Lee
But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee
But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee
