There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I am going to see
And if I ever find her
We nevermore will part
She's the sweetest rose of color this solider
(darky) ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
When the Rio Grande is flowing
The starry skies are bright
She thinks if I remember
When we parted long ago
Oh now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
We'll play the bango gaily
And we'll sing the songs of yore
In 1864 General Hood and the
Texas Brigade fighting in Tennessee
Were defeated his men
Retreated in such confusion they thought the
War was over many headed home
And a fourth stanza was added:
And now I'm going southward
For my heart is full of woe
I'm going back to Georgia
To see my Uncle Joe
You may talk about your Beauregard
And sing of Bobbie Lee
