The Yellow Rose Of Texas

Intro 1: 4 Takte Bass-Drum und Maultrommel

Intro 2: 6 Takte instrumental mit Western-Fiedeln

Vers 1/ Version Johnny Hill:
She's my rose, but she's my darling, my love is sweet and true
I still can hear her laughter in these Texas skies of blue.
So I'm gettin' sad to hurry back and I know there shall be
Sweet yellow rose of Texas, they're waiting faithfully.

Vers 1/ traditionell:
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am goin' to see,
No other fellow loves her, nobody, only me.
She cried so when I left her, it's like to break my heart
And if I ever find her we never more will part.

Zwischenspiel:

6 Takte instrumental

Vers 2:
Where the Rio Grande is flowing, where stars are shining bright,
We walked along the river on a quiet summer night.
She said: "If you remember, we parted long ago,
You promised to come back again and never leave me so!"

Vers 3:
She's the sweetest rose of colour a fellow ever knew,
Here eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about the dearest May and sing of Rosa lee,
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee.

Vers 4:
Oh, I'm goin'back to find her, my heart is full of woe
We'll sing a song together, we sang so long ago.
I'll think the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
The yellow rose of Texas - she'll be mine for evermore.
